Peugeot 208 electric power window issue

Hi, I've got a 2021 Peugeot 208 (electric engine) with 200291 km on the clock. Recently replaced the battery and now the power windows are dead. They can no longer be operated and there's an error stored in the error memory related to window regulator initialization. Anyone seen this before? Suspect it's related to the battery swap.

Hello, I also own a Peugeot 208, and I experienced a similar problem after disconnecting the battery for some maintenance. In my case, the window controls stopped responding. Did you try any troubleshooting steps like resetting the window motor or checking the fuses related to the power windows?

Thanks for the quick reply. I've checked the fuses, they seem fine. I've tried the usual window reset procedure (holding the button down for a few seconds), but no luck. Is there a specific reset procedure for the 208 that I might be missing?

In my case, the reset procedure didn't work either. I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they performed some kind of electronic initialization using their diagnostic tools. I would recommend visiting a workshop that is specialized in Peugeot since they will know the proper procedure.

Appreciate the confirmation and advice. Sounds like it's beyond my DIY skills. Will book it in with a workshop. Just got it back from the shop. They did some kind of reset using their diagnostic tool. Cost me 290€, but at least the windows are working again.
