Something similar happened to me when I disconnected the battery to replace the ignition switch. Except for the windows rolling up so high.

One time a guy told me that when you're having computer issues, you can reset it by disconnecting the negative terminal and tapping it against the negative post of the battery 3 times and reconnecting it. I know it sounds loco, and I've always taken that with a grain of salt. But, like probably you are now, I was desperate and willing to give anything a shot. It worked!!! Car fired right up.

Hope you have the same results.
