Default Windows/sun roof doesnt work after DIY install

So yesterday I installed my Injen CAI and Magnaflow exhaust. After install the sunroof does not work and the passenger side window can only be controlled from that side.

The only wiring that was touched was the wiring under the left bumper had to be moved a little bit during the CAI install. It was the grounding wire. I followed the instructions from this link:https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...t=installation
Step 11 was the only wiring I believe. Any thoughts?

You must reset all the switches by holding them in the closed position for 4 seconds. It happens when you disconnect the negative battery cable, and apparently other ground wires.

oh my lord you have to reset your windows after you unhook the battery.


resetting the power windows
step 1
turn the key in the ignition to 'on'.
step 2
on the driver's side control, push down (do not use 'one-touch' down) the power window switch for the driver's side window and lower the window halfway.
step 3
pull up (do not use 'one-touch' up) the power window switch until the window closes and hold the switch for *at least* one second.
step 4
repeat these steps for the passenger side window on the passenger door window control. the windows should now open and close like they should.

resetting the power moon roof
step 1
turn the key in the ignition to 'on'.
step 2
keep pressing the sliding roof switch to the close side until the center glass panel is fully closed.
step 3
if the switch remains pressed for approximately two more seconds after the panel is fully closed, the sliding roof ECU memorizes the fully closed position.
step 4
the center panel glass returns in the open direction a little and informs that initialization is complete.

Is this just something you have to do in a tC??? Good Lord, I couldn't imagine having to do that in my xB after disconnecting a battery or any other ground wire.
Talk about a pain in the a$$.

It seriously takes 10 seconds, it really isnt that much of a pain. when you disconnect the battery it disables the auto up/down on the windows so you have to reset them.
