CMAX Power Window Failure

My 2015 Ford CMAX diesel, with 230k km, has a weird problem. I swapped the battery, and now the power windows are dead. Fuses are good. The code reader says the window regulator initialization failed. Any ideas?

That sucks! I had something similar on my Ford Focus after disconnecting the battery. The window motors sometimes need a reset. Did you try holding the button down for 10 seconds?

Yeah, I tried holding the button up and down, for like a minute each way. Also disconnected the battery again for a while. Still nothing.

Blast, that's what I was hoping it would be. When mine did that, I messed around with it for ages and then caved and took it to a workshop. There is a procedure with scan tools to re-initialize the regulators, but if the basic reset isn't working you may have lost the coding in the BCM. You might need to get it scanned properly and coded up - they hit me for 290€.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Sounds like a trip to the shop is in my future. I'll post what happens once they've taken my money. Window regulator, what a pain!
