Seat Cordoba Power Window Issue

My 2004 Seat Cordoba diesel has a weird problem. I replaced the battery, and now the power windows don't work at all. The error memory has some error about the window regulator initialization. Any ideas before I start tearing the door panel apart looking for a broken wire?

Sounds like the window reset procedure failed after the battery replacement. I had a similar issue with my Opel Astra after disconnecting the battery. Have you tried the window reset procedure? Usually, it involves holding the window switch down, then up, for a few seconds.

Yeah, I tried the window reset thing I found online. Hold the window switch down for a few seconds after it's all the way down, then hold it up when it's all the way up. Did that like a million times. Still nothing. Could it be the window switch itself?

It's possible the window switch is faulty, but more likely the car electronics need a proper window reset done by someone with the right tools. What you are describing is what I also tried. I would suggest taking it to a workshop to get it sorted. It might be something they can fix quickly.

Thanks! I took it to the shop, and you were right. They said the window reset procedure wasn't working. They had to reprogram something in the car electronics. Cost me 290€, but at least it's fixed.
