Raider's Power Windows Need Pro Mechanic, Fix Guide

Hey there, I had a similar issue with my 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander (gasoline) last summer. When my windows started acting weird, I initially thought it was just the motor, but it turned out to be related to a failing battery. The weak battery was causing electrical glitches throughout the system, including those window regulator codes. Had it checked at my local garage, and they found that the old battery wasn't holding enough charge to properly power all the electrical components. After they replaced the battery and reset the window regulators, everything worked fine again. It wasn't a serious issue, just one of those things that happens as cars age. For your Raider, I'd suggest finding a garage that specializes in Mitsubishi vehicles. Sometimes these window regulator codes can also be triggered by faulty switches or wiring, so it's worth having someone who knows the model take a look. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing that! I actually got my Raider fixed with similar symptoms last year. The mechanic did a full reset of the power window system and replaced some worn-out components. Did you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for the battery replacement and reset? Also, just curious, have you had any other electrical problems since then? My windows have been working fine, but lately, I've noticed my radio acting a bit funky, wondering if it could be related.

Hey again! Yeah, absolutely, I can tell you exactly what it cost me. The whole thing, including the new battery and resetting the window regulators, came to 290€. Honestly, it was worth every penny because it sorted out the problem completely. After they fixed it, the window learning process worked perfectly, no more weird behaviors or error codes. About other electrical issues, nope, haven't had a single problem since the battery replacement. Everything's been running smooth as butter! That said, your radio acting up could definitely be power-related. These Mitsubishis can be a bit sensitive when it comes to electrical stuff. Mine used to have some quirks with the stereo before the battery swap too, but it all cleared up afterward. If your radio's acting strange, might be worth getting the electrical system checked again, just to be on the safe side. These things can sometimes be connected, you know? Let me know if you end up getting it checked out, would be interesting to hear what they find!

Thanks for the detailed info! Yeah, I ended up taking it to AutoMax on 5th Street yesterday. The mechanic, Mike, was super helpful and way better than my last experience. Turns out it wasn't just the radio, they found some corroded wiring that was causing various electrical glitches. Total bill came to 350€ for fixing the wiring and doing a full system check. Honestly, what a relief! The radio's working perfectly now, and they even gave the windows another check while they were at it. Mike mentioned these electrical issues are pretty common in older Mitsubishis, especially around the 120k mark. He suggested getting regular electrical system checks to catch any problems early. Really appreciate everyone's help here, definitely saved me from going back to that other mechanic! Think I've finally found a reliable place for my Raider. Thanks again for sharing your experience, it helped me make the right decision!
