Why didn’t the old one work anymore?

Oh it was just filled with water and was rusting from the inside out.

You ever have your door card off for work

And you’re like wait ... Which car am I working on?

Oh yeah that’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru.

Trigger warning many greasy finger prints

I have no idea, but that does explain why it wouldn’t work in sub freezing temps.

That does make sense if it was frozen

with what i’ve seen with some Subarus you’ll need to replace the master switch in door at the same time otherwise it’ll happen again within 12 months.

The master switch filled the window motor with water?

no no

once you replace the motor it’ll shit itself if you don’t replace the master switch at the same time, i can’t explain why .

i remember a local auto elec, kept replacing motors every 12 months in the same car, then our Subaru master tech said replace the master switch at the same time, sure enough no probs from then on

Gotcha. That’s much easier to replace.
