Fluence power window failure

Since replacing the battery in my 2014 Renault Fluence (electric), the power windows don't work. An error about window regulator initialization is stored. I've checked fuses and wiring. Any advice?

Oh no, that sounds frustrating! I'm not super tech-savvy, but I had a similar issue after disconnecting my battery once. Have you tried any basic reset procedures, like holding the window switch in the 'up' position for a certain period after turning on the ignition? Sometimes that helps.

Thank you for your suggestion. I've attempted the reset procedure, holding the switch in both the up and down positions for extended periods, but the initialization still fails. Is there any more information you can provide?

Ah, I see. If the simple reset isn't working, it might be something more complex than I can assist with. Window regulators can be tricky. Since there's an error code, and you've already tried basic troubleshooting, I would cautiously suggest getting a professional diagnosis before you start dismantling the door panel!

I appreciate your input. Based on the persisting error, I took the vehicle to a workshop. The diagnosis confirmed a synchronization problem with the window regulator. After the necessary procedures, the repair cost was 290€. Thank you for pointing out the best course of action was taking it to a workshop!
