No power to windows, locks, or seats

So I've been away living the w220 Amg and turbo e36 life but I figured I'd come back and hangout with my buddies from the w210 forum. Don't worry I have a problem.

My 1997 e420 hasn't been getting drove very often and was being neglected, but I decided to give it some love and replaced all the front suspension.

One of the front springs was broken and also one of the lower control arms was cracked. This sucked because I just bought the bushings and spent a decent amount of time burning the bushings out before I realized it was cracked. Anyway in order to change the passenger side upper control arm I unplugged all the modules in the box in the engine bay to get to the nut. I had the battery unhooked when I did this.

After everything was back together the interior lights don't come on when you open the door but work when you use the buttons. The seats only work with the key out of the ignition. None of the windows work.

So my question, is there a reset procedure or did I wipe the memory on the Sam cab and have to reprogram with star?
