Xsara Power Window Failure

My 2005 Citroen Xsara with a gasoline engine has a power window issue. They've stopped working. OBD-II shows an error code for the window regulator circuit. I suspect the power window switch. The car has 231899 km. Any similar experiences or diagnostic advice beyond just the switch?

Faulty window regulators are common, especially at that mileage. Have you checked the wiring harness to the door? A break can seem like a switch failure. Any weird noises from the regulator motor before it died?

I checked the wiring harness with a multimeter and found no breaks. There were no unusual noises from the motor before it stopped. Does the error memory point to a more specific area to check?

The error code might be too generic without more testing. Since the harness is good and there were no motor noises, a bad switch is likely. But I'd suggest a workshop visit to rule out a faulty Body Control Module output. Be careful.

I took it to a technician. It was a defective power window switch. Replacement cost 200€. Everything works now. Thanks for the help.
