Troubleshooting for electric windows in the Opel Insignia 2011
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The electric windows in a 2011 Opel Insignia are malfunctioning, with an error stored and unsuccessful attempts to relearn the power windows. A similar issue in a 2010 Opel Zafira was resolved by replacing the vehicle battery, which had insufficient power. This suggests that the battery might be the underlying cause of the problem. Replacing the battery could potentially fix the issue with the electric windows.

Hi, that sounds really annoying with your Zafira. But interesting that the battery was the problem! Could you perhaps remember how much it cost you to change the battery? And were there any other problems with the power windows afterwards or was everything okay again? It would be really cool if you could remember. Thank you!

Hey, yes, it was really a bit annoying. But I took my Zafira to the garage and the guys had a look at it. After replacing the vehicle battery, which cost me €290, all the problems were gone. Regarding your question about the power windows: after the visit to the mechanic, they worked again like on the first day. No more spinning since then. Imagine if the re-learning of the window regulators was successful this time. It's strange how a battery can throw everything out of kilter. So, at least in my case, replacing the battery fixed the fault. Hope that helps you!

Hey, thanks for your quick response! 290 € for the battery change sounds reasonable. You've really helped me out, I'll discuss it with my new garage. Maybe the problem is actually with the battery. It's funny how the electronics in our cars work, isn't it? But it's good to know that everything went smoothly for you again afterwards. Wish you no further problems with your car. Thanks again for your help!

Hello buddy! I had a similar problem with my 2010 Opel Zafira. The power windows were really acting up and there was a fault like yours. I then took my car to the garage and it turned out to be related to the vehicle battery. Strange, isn't it? It had to be replaced ('replacement of the vehicle battery') because it no longer had enough power. After the replacement, the window regulators worked perfectly again. It wasn't an earth-shattering problem overall, but it was important enough that it had to be fixed in the workshop. Hope this helps you!
