Espace power windows failure

My 2004 Renault Espace with a gasoline engine is driving me nuts. All the power windows suddenly stopped working! The error memory shows a fault, but I'm guessing the power window switch is defective. Anyone else had this happen?

Oh man, that sucks! I had something similar happen with my old Opel Corsa. All the windows just died. I was thinking it was the window motor, but I am not a car guy. Did you check the fuses?

Fuses are fine. I was hoping it was something simple like that. But why would all the windows fail at once? Is there a central control unit for the windows or something?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too when my Corsa did that. I was hoping it was a fuse, you know? Anyway, I messed around with the switch a little bit, but I didn't find anything. Probably best to get a workshop to take a look, since you already checked the fuses. They can check the whole window regulator and control system.

Okay, thanks! I'll take it to a shop. They said it's most likely the power window switch and quoted around 200€ for the repair. Hopefully, that fixes it!
