Seat Toledo power window issue

Sounds like a frustrating situation. I had a similar problem with my old Volvo after the battery died. The car electronics can get a bit scrambled when that happens. The window controls basically forget their limits. Did you try the 'window reset' procedure? It usually involves holding the window switch down for a few seconds after the window is fully closed. If that doesn't work, it might indeed be a window regulator issue requiring recalibration. Are you getting any specific error codes?

Thanks for the quick reply! I did try the reset procedure I found online – holding the button down, holding it up, various combinations. No luck. When you say 'recalibration', does that require special tools or software? Is it something a regular user can do, or am I looking at a trip to the shop?

Yeah, 'recalibration' usually means using diagnostic software to tell the window motor where the top and bottom positions are. Think of it like the car's computer needs to relearn the window's full range of motion. Without the proper software, you're probably stuck. While a faulty window motor or window regulator itself could be the issue, the fact that it happened right after the battery change strongly suggests an initialization problem. Honestly, to save yourself a headache, a trip to a workshop with the right tools is probably your best bet. They can quickly diagnose the issue and recalibrate the window regulator. Good luck!

Took the Toledo to the workshop as suggested. They confirmed the window regulator initialization failure. Ended up costing 290€, but at least the windows are working again. Thanks for the advice!
