What you need to do is open each window and then close them one at a time, holding the switch in the up position until the display reads "window set". Open the sunroof fully then close it and press the switch again to open it to the vent position. This will reset the sunroof.

If the display continues to show "window not set" just lower it fully and then raise it again holding the switch when it gets to the top. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.

when jumping it did you put the leads on the battery or did you earth the body?

also check fuses, put the leads on the car, possy to battery and earth to body on p38 and batt on donor car. try again.

I am assuming back switches do not work either, ie it is not something as simple as a connection issue to centre switch pack?

Do lights, interior and road lights work as expected?

does the switch pack light up(i think it should when lights are on) if the back door buttons are dead too its got to be fuses i reckon
