Everest power window failure

Having trouble with the power windows on my 2003 Ford Everest with a gasoline engine. It has about 227,443 kilometers. Diagnostic showed an error related to the window regulator, but I suspect the power window switch. Anyone seen this before?

I had a similar issue with my Ford Everest, though I can't recall the exact year. Power windows stopped, and the error code also pointed to the regulator. Before replacing the regulator motor, check the power window switch itself. Might be a simpler fix. Does the switch feel loose or unresponsive?

Thanks! The switch isn't loose, but it does feel unresponsive. Did your issue feel similar? What did you do to figure out the problem?

Yes, that sounds very similar. The switch felt normal at first, but wouldn't activate the windows. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed it was the switch. Given the error code and how the switch feels, it's likely the same issue. I'd recommend a professional diagnosis before replacing parts.

Thanks for the advice! Based on that and the diagnostic, I'll get it checked at a workshop to confirm the fault. The estimated repair cost, including the switch replacement, is about 200€.
