Mini Paceman Power Window Issue After Battery Replacement

My 2016 Mini Paceman diesel is exhibiting a peculiar issue. After replacing the vehicle battery, the power windows can no longer be operated. An error is stored in the error memory. I suspect the window regulator needs some form of initialization. Has anyone encountered this after a battery change? I am trying to avoid taking the door panel off unnecessarily.

I had a similar issue with my Mini Paceman after disconnecting the battery. Have you tried a window reset procedure? Sometimes the car electronics get confused. Does the error memory specify the exact error code?

I did attempt a window reset procedure as described in the manual, but without success. The error code points to a general fault with the window regulator, no specific details. Did the window reset work for you, or was there something else involved?

Yes, it was definitely the window regulator needing reinitialization after the battery change. I couldn't resolve it myself and ultimately had to take it to a workshop. They sorted it out fairly quickly. I was hoping to avoid it, but it became the only viable option.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I ended up taking it to a workshop; they confirmed the window regulator needed reinitialization after the battery replacement. The car electronics were throwing fits. Cost me around 290€, but at least the power windows are working again.
