E46 convertible interior operating buttons stopped working

[gateguardian]

Hi all,

The car is a 2003 euro convertible M3.
I had the typical ripped cables running through the soft top problem: i.e. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=854059
After we found the broken cables and repaired them, the actual control buttons inside the car stopped working (when you press them - nothing happens, the little lights next to the buttons do not light on.) The top/ windows do not respond in any way either.
Using the key fob however, the top/ windows work perfectly.
1. Inserting the key in the driver's door lock, i can lift/lower the top without a problem and the respective operational button inside for the top lights on during opening/closing.
2. I can lower the top without a problem by holding the unlock button on the key fob. Holding the lock button does not close it however.

I don't see any error in INPA/ Reingold.

Help pls!

Any ideas?
What's the difference between operating the roof through the door lock and operating it through the interior buttons? Different modules?
Anything I need to reset?

I know this post is almost 5 years old but I'm having a similar issue with my car and I was wondering if you ever got it fixed and/or know what the issue was. I would appreciate the help so.
