How to match the window regulator for Citroen C5?
2 Answers
Pull up the window control button until the door glass stops moving upward. Release the control button and then pull it up again until the door glass is completely closed. After the door glass is closed, continue to hold the control button for about 1 second. Press the control button to lower the door glass to the lowest position. When the door glass reaches the lowest position, press and hold the control button again for about 1 second. Push the regulator switch down to the bottom (the automatic position) and hold for 3 seconds, then pull it up to the top (the automatic position) and hold for another 3 seconds without releasing the switch during the lifting process.
I remember matching the Citroën C5 window regulator is to reset the window position, usually required after replacing parts, battery disconnection, or window jamming. I've tried it myself a few times: first turn on the ignition or start the engine, then use the window button to fully close the window, and hold the up button for about 3 seconds; then press the down button to fully open the window and hold the down button for 3 seconds. This action initializes the motor sensor to prevent position deviation. Sometimes it works after one or two attempts, but if the window still doesn't respond, you may need to repeat the process several times. Be careful not to apply excessive force during the operation to avoid damaging the motor. Regular maintenance can reduce such issues, such as checking track lubrication or connector rust. A common mistake is forgetting the power-on state, leading to matching failure. Safety first—ensure you're parked on level ground when performing this.
