FiveHundred power windows

Has anyone run into window regulator issues after a battery replacement? My 2004 Ford FiveHundred with a gasoline engine now has unresponsive power windows after swapping the battery. Error memory shows a fault. Is the system needs some bizarre re-initialization?

Summary of the thread

After replacing the battery in a 2004 Ford FiveHundred, the power windows became unresponsive, and an error was detected in the system. This issue may require a specific re-initialization procedure for the window control module, which is not resolved by simply disconnecting the battery again. A suggested solution is to take the vehicle to a workshop where they have the necessary diagnostic tools to address the problem efficiently.

Power window problems after a battery change, huh? I've got a FiveHundred as well, and experienced something similar. Have you checked all the window switches? Did you try to reset the window control module?

Thanks for the quick reply! Reset the window control module? Is there a specific procedure involved, or is it disconnecting the battery again and hoping for the best? I'm trying to avoid a costly trip to the mechanic.

It's not just disconnecting the battery again. From what I recall, there's some kind of initialization procedure needed after the power is interrupted. After messing with it for an afternoon, I just took it to the shop. They had the right diagnostic tools to get it sorted quickly.

Sounds like a trip to the workshop is inevitable then. Just got a quote for 290€, seems reasonable enough to avoid further headaches.
