Default Window control module programing

97 XK8 coupe. Passenger window lost its mind. Went completely erratic. I pulled out the module, opened it and found a nice little burnt spot. Getting a replacement with the same part number is easy. Mine has a sticker on it that says Download 25P which I suspect refers to its particular program. None of the ones I see for sle have such a sticker. Question is if I get one from an X100 coupe will it need to be reprogrammed? If so, who still has that capability? Thanks for any help.

Remove the battery before you install it
​​​​​​If car refused to lock then connect both battery together for about 10 seconds that will reset everything good to go

I was clarifying your english as some might take it to mean join the battery terminals as you missed a word out of your sentence

"​​​​​​If car refused to lock then connect both battery CABLES together for about 10 seconds that will reset everything good to go "
