Seat Inca power window malfunction after battery replacement

I own a Seat Inca, build year 2003, with a gasoline engine, mileage 104213 km. After replacing the vehicle battery, the power windows can no longer be operated. There is an error stored in the error memory. I suspect the window regulator initialization was unsuccessful. Any advice on how to resolve this car window issue?

I had a similar car window problem with my Inca. After changing the battery, the power windows stopped working, and there was an error message. Have you checked the fuses related to the car electronics and window motor? Also, did you disconnect the battery correctly, waiting a few minutes after turning off the engine?

I checked the fuses, and they seem fine. I disconnected the battery as you described. What exactly did you do to fix your car window?

Yes, it was the same issue. I tried a few things myself, but in the end, I had to take it to a workshop. They said the window regulator needed to be reset using diagnostic equipment. It seems that after disconnecting the battery, the car electronics lost the correct settings for the window motor.

Thank you for the advice. The car window issue is now resolved. I went to the workshop and they had to initialize the window regulator. The final car repair cost was 290€.
