windows dead

Ok, so last night my wife spilled some green tea on the center console . We tried to dry as much as we could but now the windows won't work.

This morning I took everything apart, dried and cleaned all the circuits but still nothing. The switches light up but the windows nor the mirror adust keys don't work.

Do I need to disconnect the battery to reset itself or is there something else that I'm missing besides that the circuits might have fried?

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Clean with crc mass air sensor cleaner.No residue

then aim a fan down on it.
you can try a battery reset and then resync all your windows and steering wheel sensor.
You may luck out if not you will need a new complete module with the switches.
pm me.
At least you did not toast the shift module and lose shift ability

I tried drying it with a hair dryer for a while but it didn't work. I'm hoping it'll dry out on its own in a couple of days. the weird thing is that after a couple of hours of it getting wet, they worked for a couple of seconds, then died. Also the lights still work?
