Peugeot 207 power window issue

Hi, I've got a 2015 Peugeot 207 (gasoline engine) with about 280k kilometers. After replacing the battery, the power windows stopped working. I'm getting an error about window regulator initialization failure, but the fuses are fine. Any ideas on how to reset the window controls or troubleshoot?

Hey, that sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa after the battery died. The windows just wouldn't move, and I got a similar error message. Did you try any specific reset procedures? Maybe holding the window buttons down?

Thanks for the reply. I tried holding the window buttons up and down for a few seconds each, but no luck. Did you do anything else specific with your Corsa, or are there any other tricks I could try before I start taking the door panel off?

Yeah, I tried holding the buttons too, but nothing worked for me either. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They said it needed a specific electronic reset with their diagnostic tool. Apparently, after a battery change, the window regulators can sometimes lose their settings. It's best to get it checked to avoid messing things up further by taking the door panel apart.

Thanks, I'll take it to a workshop then. They quoted me around 290€ for the repair; hopefully, that's all it takes to get them working again.
