Peugeot 1007 power window failure

I'm having a nightmare with my 2006 Peugeot 1007 diesel. The power windows are completely dead after I replaced the battery. I've got an error stored about window regulator initialization failing. Mileage is only 30559 km! I've checked all the fuses, and they seem fine. I'm guessing it's some kind of reset issue? Anyone experienced this after a battery change? I'm pulling my hair out trying to avoid taking it to a garage.

I had something similar happen in my Peugeot 307. After replacing the battery, the windows wouldn't work, and there was an error code. Did you try the window reset procedure? It involves holding the window button down for a few seconds, then up for a few seconds. Do it a few times. Does it work?

Cheers for the quick reply! I tried the holding-the-button-down trick I found online, but it didn't do anything. Should the ignition be on, or the engine running when I try it? Any other tricks I could try? Is it likely to be the window motor itself? Accessing it means taking the door panel off, which I'd rather avoid...

Yeah, the ignition should be on. If the window reset procedure doesn't work, there may be an issue with the regulator or motor. I spent ages fiddling with mine before taking it to a workshop. It was the regulator in the end. They recalibrated it with their diagnostic tool.

Right, for anyone with a similar issue: I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. I took it to a local garage, and they sorted it. Turns out the regulator needed to be re-initialized using the diagnostic tool. Cost me 290€, which stung a bit, but at least it's fixed. Thanks for the help!
