Seat Altea Power Window Issue

Window controls are such a pain! I had a similar issue with my old Peugeot after the battery died. The window motor just wouldn't respond. Did you try the window troubleshooting steps in the owner's manual? Maybe there's a specific reset procedure for the Altea.

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check the manual, but it doesn't mention anything specific about re-initialization after a battery change. Is there anything else I could try before taking it to a workshop? I'm worried about the potential repair costs.

I tried all sorts of things, but nothing worked. It sounds like the car's computer needs to relearn the window positions, which usually requires special diagnostic equipment. I think you're probably best off taking it to a workshop. They'll be able to sort out the window troubleshooting and reset the window regulator properly.

Took the Altea to a local workshop. They confirmed the window regulators needed re-initialization after the battery change. The car electronics were throwing a fit! Cost me 290€, but at least the power windows are working again. Thanks again for your help!
