But if you unhook the battery the auto window up/down when you open and close the door wont work after you re attach the battery. To fix this, open the door, roll window all the way down. close door. then roll the window all the way to the top but DONT LET GO of the button, keep it pulled up until you here an audible click sound. do this for the passenger side too and it will function normally. this resets the windows auto function. If you can afford to do it, put a halogen light under the car too. this helps keep moisture from building on it while it sits for months.

oh, your key fob honk/lights when you lock/unlock also resets when bat is unhooked. hold both buttons down "not alarm" until it honks. done.
