My wife calls me today to tell me that 3 of the windows in our Outback
are no longer working. The lone functional window is of course the
driver's window. Her father brings it into a shop he trusts and has
them check out the relay switches and fuses(s). Apparently there is
power leading up to the motor of the passenger window---that is the
only one that they checked out as the window was down and we needed to
have it put back up.

There is no way that in 12 hours 3 power window motors fail. It has to
be something electrical. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? She
is 8 hours away from where we live so I can't just take it to our
Subaru guy.

Thanks!

The power window lock-out switch may be activated. There should be a
square button near the power window switches on the driver's side door.
Switch it off and the windows should work again.

You are correct. Although they mentioned this morning that it wasn't
the button, when I asked them AGAIN this time they figured it out.
Thanks.
