Escape Power Windows Failure

Hello, I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my 2019 Ford Escape (gasoline engine). My power windows suddenly stopped working after I replaced the car battery. Now they don't respond at all, and I've got an error message stored. What could be wrong?

I had a similar problem with my Escape after some electrical work. It sounds like your window regulators need to be re-initialized. Basically, the car's computer needs to relearn the window positions. Did you try any reset procedures?

Thanks for your reply! No, I didn't try any reset procedures. I wasn't even aware that was a thing. Is there a way to do this myself, or does it require special equipment?

Unfortunately, the window initialization on the Escape can be tricky. I tried various methods myself and eventually had to take it to a workshop. They have the diagnostic tools to properly reset the window regulators. Save yourself the headache and consider doing the same.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I suspected it might be beyond my capabilities. I'll book an appointment with a workshop. They charged me 290€ and told me that the error was due to unsuccessful window regulator initialization!
