With the windows closed, open 2 at a time. Hold the window buttons all the way down (second click) from the closed position to the open and continue holding down for 15 sec once opened. repeat the same for closing and for the sunroof. Also take the car to Auto Zone and have them check the battery, low voltage can cause problems in our cars. or just call me and I'll check it out, I can't trust some of the dummies there.

Maybe we can check it tonight before we head to the track?

My car did the same thing after I unhooked the battery, I am pretty sure it tells you how to reset everything in your owners manual. I am stoked to see what your car will run!!

just hold each window switch till window hits lower limit and hold 3 seconds, then put window all the way up and hold switch for 3 seconds. do this for each window, and it will be OK. then for sun roof, once roof is all the way back hold switch 3 seconds, then move forward and hold switch 3 seconds, then put roof in tilt up postion and hold 3 seconds. then everything will be synchronized.

I've done this but basically only the down or up and hold for three seconds on the sunroof I got it all the way back and held 3 seconds and then forward and held 3 seconds thats it. If you didn't mess with your battery at all I say have it checked may be you are losing power somehow

I'm sure they would've unhooked his negative battery terminal before changing his crank pulley... I've had the same thing happen (one-touch up feature on windows stops and incorrect sunroof operation) on both my w203's, after disconnecting the battery. I've never done anything to proactively "fix" it, because everything returns to normal a few days later (for whatever reason)... so I've just lived with it while it's happening. It is pretty annoying, though.
