C1 power window failure after battery change

I'm having trouble with my 2014 Citroen C1 with a gasoline engine. After replacing the battery, the power windows don't work. It shows a window regulator initialization error. I've tried online reset procedures, but nothing works. Has anyone had this?

Hey! Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my C1 after disconnecting the battery for maintenance. The window regulator went completely bonkers. Did you try holding the window switch up and down for a while? Sometimes that can kickstart the initialization.

Thanks! Yes, I've tried holding the switch up and down for about 10 seconds each time, and longer. Still nothing. Can you give me more detail on how you fixed yours?

Ah, damn, that's a bummer. I tried all those 'magic' fixes too, and nothing worked. Eventually, I had to take it to a workshop. They had some fancy computer to reset the regulators. I'm pretty sure you need to take it to a shop.

Thanks. Based on your experience, I'll take it to a workshop. I had the window regulator reinitialized and the error memory cleared for 290€. Hopefully, that fixes it.
