    For auto window you have to re-learn them when they are messed with - basically run them to the extreme ends and hold the button for a few extra seconds. Can't say about the locks. Perhaps another wire shorted out. Or maybe you have a bad/loose connector and it's intermittent.

    For clearing the airbag light and any other coding like that you're better off finding an Indy or a forum member hobbyist who can do it for you. The dealers are A. usually crap at it, B. don't have the tools we have, C. even if they know what they are doing, charge far too much.

    BTW seats to my knowledge won't require any coding but make sure you're getting ones w/ same airbag connector as your car. There was a change at some point and while retrofitting can be done, it's a small PITA.
