Modus power windows failure
Summary of the thread
A 2008 Renault Modus experienced a sudden failure of the power windows, with an error related to the window regulator stored in the error memory. The issue arose after a recent battery replacement, which may have caused the system to lose its settings. A suggested solution was to re-initialize the window regulators, a process requiring special diagnostic software. Ultimately, a visit to a workshop was necessary to perform the re-initialization, resolving the problem.

Re-initializing the regulators? I'm not familiar with that. Is there a specific procedure for it? I tried checking the fuses, but they all seem to be fine. Is there a specific fuse I should be looking for?

Yes, the car window regulators require initialization. It appears that you need special diagnostic software to carry out the procedure, which is beyond my capabilities. I ended up going to a local workshop to get it sorted. They told me that sometimes after battery replacement, the system loses its settings. I would recommend you do the same.

Thanks for the advice! It seems like a trip to the workshop is unavoidable. I went there today and indeed the regulators needed to be re-initialized. The final repair cost was 290€. Hopefully this will fix the problem for good.

Interesting! I also drive a Modus and I had something similar happen after some electrical work. Have you tried re-initializing the window regulators? Sometimes, after a power loss, they need to be reset. Did you check the fuses related to the car window and window motor?
