Seat Formentor Power Windows Dead
Summary of the thread
The power windows in a 2023 Seat Formentor are completely non-functional, leading to speculation about the cause. A defective power window switch is considered a likely culprit, especially given the sudden and complete failure. Although a window regulator issue is also suggested, the presence of an error code points more towards an electrical problem. Ultimately, a workshop visit confirms the switch as the cause, resolving the issue.

Given the error code and complete failure, I'd guess the switch. While it could be the window regulator, those usually fail more gradually. At that mileage, the car window mechanism might show wear, but a sudden complete stop suggests electrical. A workshop can confirm it quickly.

The error memory shows a fault. Do you think it's more likely the switch than something with the window mechanism or window track? I'm trying to avoid tearing the whole door apart if I can.

Took it to the shop, and it was a faulty window regulator. The switch was the culprit. The repair cost 200€, so your hunch was right. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like a classic window regulator issue. Have you checked the error memory? Often a defective power window switch will throw a code. Is there any noise coming from the door when you try to operate the window?
