Peugeot 108 power window failure

I'm having a weird issue with my 2016 Peugeot 108 (gasoline engine). After replacing the battery, the power windows stopped working completely. Neither side responds to the switches. I've checked the fuses, and they seem fine. I also tried a basic reset procedure I found online, but no luck. The car's error memory shows a fault related to the window regulator initialization. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Sounds like the window regulator lost its mind after the power cut. Had something similar happen on my old Renault Megane after the battery died. Did the windows work immediately after replacing the battery, or were they dead from the start?

Thanks for the quick reply! No, they were dead from the start. I thought it might be a fuse initially, but they all seem okay. Is it something that can be fixed, or will it require a visit to the workshop?

Okay, if they didn't work at all after the battery change, the regulator probably needs to be re-initialized. On the Megane, it was a specific sequence of holding the window buttons, but if that didn't work for you, it's probably a dealer-level reset. You could keep trying different procedures, but honestly, at this point, you're probably best off getting it diagnosed properly at a workshop to avoid messing something up. I ended up having to do that myself, it was like trying to teach a brick to play the piano.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I booked it in at a local garage. They confirmed the window regulator needed re-initialization. The bill came to 290€. A bit annoying, but at least it's sorted now.
