    Just found this video and had to leave a comment. Perfectly described the problem I'm having and the solution worked like a charm! Thank you! My only difference was for my 2019 premium, I had to use the "second" up position to send the window up for calibration.

    Wow you're a life saver lol had my WRX die cause of corrosion on my positive terminal was halting enough charge to the alternator. Cleaned the corrosion, tested the battery with the dipstick to see if there was conductivity and there was, then jump started and the car is fine. Only had the car for 1 year as of last week and was freaking out lol.
    Wake up the next day and the auto on the driver's side for the passenger window wasn't working. I thought something got shorted out. Then I found this video. Awesome stuff thank you so much!

  • @glass6160

    Well I'll be a Monkey's Auntie. I had the very same problem after my 2017 Subaru Forrester's battery died and had to be replaced. I had a nightmare last night that I had a doctor's appointment and was caught in a rainstorm with the window stuck in the down position! Your video saved me 100s of dollars at the dealership......

    '14 Forester, worked on my driver window. No auto up or down, and would only roll up 2 inches at a time then stop. I had to reset the switch back to normal, then pulled up halfway. Then when finally closed after 9 or so pushes, I held a full pull up for like 5 seconds. All with the driver door open. And it worked. Restored my auto function and got rid of the tiny jumps. 💯👍

    Just ANOTHER thanks! for saving me grief by going to a dealership. There oughtta be a TECH FIXES FOR SUBARUS manual(not in the manual...) And, I said to myself, "Hmmm... I wonder if a nice guy might have the simple fix to this problem, especially since I got a new battery" and here you are!
    My friend's Subaru can also be fixed also...

    Dude thanks.! This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard about and I almost had to take it down to the dealer which would have probably cost me at least a hundred bucks to them just to do that! But it worked.
    My situation was I removed my battery because I was getting that white acid build up around the post and I cleaned it all up and applied some of that junk that you put on there to prevent the acid buildup on the cable contacts.
    I did not realize at the time that the window wasn't working it was several weeks later that I realized it and I thought the controller was damaged and needed to be replaced.
