Rifter power windows not working
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Peugeot Rifter owner is experiencing non-functional power windows, with an error displayed but no issues found with the fuses. The problem might be due to a faulty power window switch or broken wiring in the door hinge area. It is suggested to check the wiring by removing the door panel, but if uncomfortable with this, visiting a workshop is recommended. The issue was confirmed to be the power window switch, and the repair was completed at a workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I haven't checked the wiring in the door hinge area yet. Is it difficult to access that? I'm not particularly experienced with automotive repair, so I'm a bit hesitant to start taking things apart.

Yeah, accessing the wiring can be a bit tricky. You'll probably need to remove the door panel. It's usually held on by some screws and clips. Be careful not to break the clips when you're prying it off. Honestly, if you're not comfortable doing that, it might be best to take it to a workshop. A faulty power window switch is also possible like you initially suggested. They will be able to test both the wiring and switch to pinpoint the problem. I ended up going to a shop, and it saved me a bunch of headaches.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I think I'll take it to a workshop then. They said it was indeed the power window switch, and the repair cost about 200€. Thanks again!

Hey, I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa. Power windows just stopped working, and there was an error code too. Fuses were fine in my case as well. Did you happen to check the wiring in the door hinge area? Sometimes the wires can get brittle and break there, especially if the car is a few years old, even if the mileage is low. Just a thought.
