C4 power window issue

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2005 Citroen C4 gasoline. The power windows suddenly stopped working. I replaced the vehicle battery recently, and now none of the power windows respond. The error memory also shows an error related to window regulator initialization. Mileage is currently at 47166 km. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with my C4 after disconnecting the battery. It seems the window regulators need to be re-initialized. Did you try the window reset procedure? I can't remember exactly but the procedure is to hold the switch in the up position for 10 secs then down for 10 secs.

Thanks for the quick response! I tried that procedure, holding the switch up and then down, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I'm not doing it right? Is there a specific way to hold the switch, or a specific timing I should be following more closely?

Yes, that's exactly the problem I encountered. I tried various online suggestions without success. Unfortunately, in my case, it turned out the regulator needed a reset by a professional. I would suggest taking it to a workshop to get it sorted. They have the diagnostic tools to properly initialize the system. You could keep trying, but you might cause more issues.

Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation. I took it to a workshop, and they were able to re-initialize the window regulators using their diagnostic equipment. The final bill came to 290€, which was a bit painful, but at least the windows are working again.
