Emergency power window switch fix.

A new SVX owner came in today with a broken drivers window switch.
With a storm coming all he wanted was for his window to be up, until he could buy a switch from Subaru.
I took the power lead from the drivers courtesy light, and plugged it into the drivers window motor lead, for long enough to run the window up.
I just thought I'd share.
It MIGHT help someone out.

and just to add...make sure to remove all 6 screws (two at the front of the panel, three under the cloth liner (you know, where you throw loose change, cell phone, etc), and one under the little cover under the door release handle) holding the door panel on before trying to remove it to get to the connectors....
