For 06-07 guts are the same as a early 2000 maxima, just use the business card truck to separate the white portion with the contractors, and reuse suburu buttons, seems like everyone stocks the maxima switch but no one stocks the suburu switch https://www.autozone.com/electrical...uralast-power-window-switch-sw7266/207143_0_0

Window doesnt go up or down
2007 Tribecca B9 and all windows work except for Driver's side. I was just going to replace the window switch as a guess, until I found out its $115 for a switch!
Can anyone give me some clues to how to tell if its the motor or the switch? maybe a jump the switch somehow?

OE switch is cheaper to buy than aftermarket if you can wait to have it shipped from one of the discounting dealer outlets.
How much is it? I just ordered the Maxima switch for 40 and plan to disassemble like I did for cleaning.OE switch is cheaper to buy than aftermarket if you can wait to have it shipped from one of the discounting dealer outlets.
Sorry, I have to take my statement back if that's the case. My understanding was that availability was the main issue. OE switch + shipping will always be over $100. I looked at the AutoZone link above but missed the one at Amazon.
Oh ok. Will let you know how it works either way.Sorry, I have to take my statement back if that's the case. My understanding was that availability was the main issue. OE switch + shipping will always be over $100. I looked at the AutoZone link above but missed the one at Amazon.
Swapping out with the Maxima switch that was linked to did not work. It resulted in a smoky mess.
I just ordered the whole drivers main control off Ebay the other day for $80, used not new. But I got the whole thing trim and all so just pop out the old, plug in the wires and pop it back in. My old one worked but some times the drivers window you had to hold the button up or down for quite a few seconds before it would work. Figured better to change it before it gets stuck down. Thought I'd save the 30-40 bucks over buying a new switch. Also haven't decided if I'm going to keep this one or sell it, I bought it to drive around on Forest Service roads and the fuel mileage in the woods is terrible so don't want to put any more money into it than I have to.
At least the damage should be limited to the incompatible switch, knowing that the system is not tied into the body control module. My suggestion would be to use this as an opportunity to get a Subaru switch with auto-up option, 83071XA05A.Swapping out with the Maxima switch that was linked to did not work.

I did read that some Nissan switches were compatible but perhaps it was not this particular one.
Sorry to hear that I have had the replacement Amazon unit was a direct swap on mine, and has worked perfectly since that swap.Swapping out with the Maxima switch that was linked to did not work. It resulted in a smoky mess.
Yeah, no other apparent damage. The old switch did say Nissan on it.

The one I got had big green bulbs popping out making it impossible to fit without a big hassle.Sorry to hear that I have had the replacement Amazon unit was a direct swap on mine, and has worked perfectly since that swap.
Weird.
avk, where did you get this part number? Original switch seems to be fine after I disassembled it, but I will just get the 83071xa05a. I google searched it but it's weird how it doesn't show what model number it is for.At least the damage should be limited to the incompatible switch, knowing that the system is not tied into the body control module.

Do you know what part number it is for?
Thanks.
Sorry I assumed it was already known. Installed on my 2006 model and also by another user, and it works: Auto Up Windows?
I was just wondering how you guys figured that out. I don't doubt that it works. Nice find!Sorry I assumed it was already known. Installed on my 2006 model and also by another user, and it works: Auto Up Windows?
It is a European-market switch (example catalog: Switch (power window) for 2006 - 2007 Subaru B9 TRIBECA WXEB | Europe sales region, , 1097174-120625 (megazip.net) , not the most economical source to buy). The real mystery is why it is available from US dealers, but it is.
Since the “auto window up” feature is now standard on newer Subarus and since it also works on older models why make and stock two different models of switch units?It is a European-market switch (example catalog: Switch (power window) for 2006 - 2007 Subaru B9 TRIBECA WXEB | Europe sales region, , 1097174-120625 (megazip.net) , not the most economical source to buy).

Very strange. I mean look how quickly (just in case you are unaware) they eliminated the production of new b9 headlight lenses and changed the part number for the headlamp assembly without citing why.Since the “auto window up” feature is now standard on newer Subarus and since it also works on older models why make and stock two different models of switch units?
Had this issue with the driver’s window in my 2007 limited. Took out the switch unit from the door and tested the circuits, which led me to believe it was a switch issue and not the motor. Couldn’t pry the white inner box from the dark outer frame to try to physically clean the contacts. Instead, simply sprayed some CRC electric parts cleaner into the port where the driver’s switch was and slid the rocker back and forth. Did this several times, some grime was released. Put it all back together and it’s working again. Worth trying the cleaner before buying a new part. Interestingly, my switch unit also had the Nissan logo on it, but this was the original part. Has never been replaced. Good luck with your repairs!
Thank you and welcome. Just know that it might come back on you. I did what you did at some point and it came back. I separated it and put some deoxit in there and it has been fine for a year.Had this issue with the driver’s window in my 2007 limited.
