DS3 Power Window Failure

Experiencing a frustrating issue with my 2012 Citroen DS3 diesel. The power windows have suddenly stopped working. I've checked the fuses, and they appear to be fine. I scanned the car's computer and found an error code related to the window regulator. Could a defective power window switch be the culprit?

Hey! I also have a DS3, and this sounds very familiar. I had a similar issue a while back. Power windows just died, and the error memory was screaming about the regulator. Did you notice any clicking sounds coming from the door before it completely failed?

That's interesting! No, I didn't notice any clicking sounds beforehand. It just stopped working abruptly. Was your issue also a faulty switch, or was it something else entirely?

In my case, it turned out to be a faulty window regulator after all. The switch could be the problem, but with the error code pointing to the regulator, I'd say it's more likely. Honestly, without proper diagnostics, it's hard to be certain. My advice would be to take it to a workshop. They'll be able to pinpoint the problem for sure.

Thank you for the insight! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I've taken your advice and booked an appointment with a local workshop. They confirmed it was indeed the window regulator, and the total repair cost came to around 200€. Your help was invaluable!
