This is info that has been posted on this forum many, many times. I recommend searching as you will likely get a bunch of useless responses (flaming you for not searching) if you ask like this.

The primary one is the window reset procedure. I don't know it so don't ask - just search.

Others include radio presets and the clock.

I found his earlier post, and he is trying to install a corrosion control module (or something like that I think).

Like Chuck mentioned, you should hold the brake pedal after disconnecting the negative battery terminal to completely drain the charge in the electrical system. Also mentioned, if you plan on opening/closing the doors during the work, you should lower the windows slightly before disconnecting the cable.

When you go back to reinstall the battery cable, you will need to do a window reset procedure (I recommend you search the forum for directions - I don't know them).

The window reset process is:

1. Roll down window all the way.

2. Roll up window all the way, but hold the switch in the "up" position and continue to hold it for 5 seconds after the window is all the way up.

3. Repeat process for the other window.

4. Deliver Reps to Mr. onzedge™ and Mr. JARBlue™.

5. Have a great day.

That would be three seconds according to the OM. Wouldn't want the younger crowd in here to waste an extra 2 seconds when they don't need to in their busy lives.
