(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The 2009 Ford Kuga is experiencing issues with power windows, cockpit gauges, and flickering headlights. The initial suspicion is a failed window regulator learning process. Possible causes include electrical problems, such as a faulty alternator or loose headlight contacts. Suggested solutions involve checking the alternator, inspecting for loose connections, and ensuring fuses are intact.

Thanks for the quick reply and the helpful information. I think the battery is still good because I only replaced it recently. But I will check it again to be sure. There are a few other symptoms. The gauges in the cockpit sometimes go crazy and the headlights flicker from time to time. The window thing is the main problem, but I wonder if all these symptoms could be related. Nothing unusual was found at the last service at 59,686 km. I will probably have to go to the Ford garage, but I wanted to ask for advice here first. Anyway, thanks again for the tip!

Hey, it's quite possible that all these symptoms are related. There seems to be an electrical problem with your car, maybe even several electrical components have a fault. Regarding the windows - I remember once noticing by chance that my power windows were working properly after I replaced the fuse. So, that could also be a possible solution to your problem. I also had the flickering of the headlights, which was due to a loose contact to the headlight bulbs. Maybe you could check that too? You've already changed the battery, but what about the alternator? If it's not working properly, it could be draining your battery, which could lead to electrical problems. Well, these are just my thoughts and experiences. Maybe someone else here on the forum can give some more tips. Keep your fingers crossed that you solve your problem soon!

Hello again! Thanks for the further tips! I've checked the fuses and they seem to be fine. But that's a good point about the alternator. I will definitely check that. The flickering of the headlights could really be a loose contact, I'll have a look there too. Hopefully I'll find out what the main problem is soon. I'll keep looking for advice here and then decide whether to go to the garage or try to solve the problem myself. In any case, you have helped me a lot so far. Thank you very much!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Ford Focus. I have a bit of experience with cars, but I'm not an expert. Well, I was also at a loss at first and then took my car to the garage. There they discovered that the vehicle battery needed to be replaced as it no longer had enough power for the entire electrical system. This then cost 290 euros. It would be helpful to have more details to be able to help you more precisely. Does your Kuga have any other symptoms? Do you have other things to sort out? Hopefully my story will help a little. Good luck with it!
