Citroen C5 2008 window is going down

Unread post by sanio1989 »

Hello
Im driving C5 2008.
After reparation window steel cables, I can't close up window with double click, or by remote.

As soon it goes up to the top, its get down to half open.

I trayed to click UP, and hold it (like I do in Audi), but its allways goes down as soon it touch the top.

Either the regulator wiring is too tight or you need to initialise the anti-pinch system.

DO NOT use the one touch up or down setting.
Instead, lower the window completely, then lightly press the UP button the the FIRST position so that you raise it manually.
When the window stops, repeat using the manual lift position and keep doing this until the window reaches fully closed.

When at the top, gently hold for a few seconds in the manual position until you hear a slight click. This reinitialises the anti pinch. Repeat on other windows.

I have this too, just replaced the regulator, when you say the 'regulator wiring' do you mean the electrical cabling or the steel cales that move the window...?

I mean the steel cables that raise and lift the window.
