Default 1999 XK8 windows and mirrors won't move

Update- I just found a blown 5A fuse in the passenger fascia number 4 slot, door switchpacks, door locking, and am heading to the store now to get fuses.

Hello, I had a battery go completely dead on me, would not even take a charge. I installed a new battery, and now the windows and mirrors won't move using the interior switches. However, the passenger window drops about an inch each time I pull on the outside handle.

I tried resetting the system by disconnecting the new battery and connecting it again, then tried turning the key in the door to the open position for a minute, but no go.

Checked fuse #15 on the driver's and passenger's fascia boxes (door control module), and each 25 amp fuse is fine.

I am stumped and it's cold out, so any help would be appreciated!

Update 2- I replaced the blown 5A fuse in the passenger fascia number 4 slot for door switchpacks and door locking. I was able to get the windows closed, but something started burning under the driver's side window switch area.

Looks like there's a short or some corrosion.

I suspect the blown fuse and the failed battery are co-incidental rather than directly related.

With the blown fuse and burning smell, you need to remove the door card for investigation before any serious damage occurs.

After a battery disconnect/reconnect, the system must ‘re-learn’ the window travel limits to ensure correct operation of the automatic window drop facilities.

Re-programming is done with the doors closed and the ignition switch in position ‘I’ or ‘II’, as follows:

1. Press and hold the lower part of the switch. When the window is fully lowered, continue to hold the switch for 5 seconds. You should hear a soft 'click'.
2. Press and hold the upper part of the switch. When the window is fully raised continue to hold the switch for 5 seconds. Again you should hear a soft 'click'.

Carry out this procedure for driver and passenger door windows.

Be sure both doors are closed when you do the procedure.
