I do have one side effect I havn't seen mentioned yet. After turning the car off everytime I open the door the window does it's little drop down. The problem is it never goes back up. It will drop a little more everytime you open the door. I can role it up once I'm inside and start the car and will gladly do it forever rather than pay to fix the ignition lock but if anyone knows anything I'd love to hear it.

Love the sight guys. Broken at Midnight. Diagnosed and running with a flashlight, flathead screwdriver, 10mm socket, and a pair of needle nose pliars by 3am
With that, most likely from disconnexting the battery terminal, you'll need to reset the controls.

With the car "on", push both window switches down, and hold for 3 seconds. Then pull both up, and hold for 3 seconds. This should reset them and the windows should work as they are supposed to.

Also, since you disconnected the negative terminal, you did what is basically a "soft" ECU reset. The next time you run it, you'll want to go easy on it so it can re-learn your airflows.
