Weird electrical issue

As i was preparing the car to be sold about two weeks ago i rolled the windows down to get some fresh air in. When i went to put them up the auto-up feature on all of them would not work, at first i thought it was a window regulator going out but considering its every window and happened at the same time im not sure what it could be.

I've got the battery unhooked and am letting it sit for awhile to see if that does any good but what else could it be??

Look in the manual

For the procedure,after you hook up the battery and make sure it is charged,resync the windows and sunroof and enter the radio code if needed on an 00 model.Maybe the car while sitting unused lost it's charge and that will upset the windows express feature.

be sure to turn the car on and turn the steering wheel all the way left to right and back a few times to center the sensors.

In the

section about replacing your battery,it tells how to resync the windows.
Basically you put each window down and then in turn close them all the way and hold the button up for a few seconds more till you hear the soft click,then the next window and so on then the sun roof then enter the radio code which you should have in the radio book or call the dealer.

why are you selling?how many miles?fair priced?post it here and on benzworld.org w210 section if it is nice,members are looking

100k

on an 00 in nice shape detailed well and no issues will get you a quick 10k,if you spend a few bucks and have the trans serviced mb spec fluid it will be a much easier sell.
Good luck.
