Modus Power Windows Failure

I've got a 2012 Renault Modus diesel and the power windows have suddenly stopped working. All of them. No response at all. I checked the error memory and there's a fault stored, but I'm wondering, could it really be something as simple as the power window switch?

Could be the switch, or even the regulator motor itself. Have you checked the fuses? Also, are you sure the window switches are dead, front and back? Sometimes it's just one switch that fails and takes out the rest of the circuit.

Yeah, I checked all the fuses, they're fine. And none of the windows are working, front or back. So, if it is the regulator motor, would that cause an error code to be stored?

Definitely. A faulty regulator motor will throw an error. Given that all windows are affected and you've checked the fuses, and seeing that the error memory holds a fault, the switch is a likely culprit, but honestly, at this point, probably best to get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to the shop, turned out to be the power window switch like we suspected. Cost me 200€ all in. Appreciate the help!
