Hi All,

I have a 99 Boxster 986.
I changed one of my battery cables that had completely snapped off from where it connects to the power distributor. After putting a new cable on, car starts up fine, door lights and interior lights work, radio, door lock, air conditioner all work. The windows will drop down and go back up when I open and close the doors, but will not operate from my switches. The top will not do anything either now. I tried turning and holding the key in the door in the unlock position to see if the windows would drop like that, no such luck. Any ideas? I tried unplugging the battery again for 15 minutes and still the same problem. Any other advice would be helpful, I checked all the fuses, thinking it was a fuse problem, they were all good.
