However you will want to roll the windows down slightly. Without the battery they will not lower on their own and you can do some damage if you open and close the door. Depending on how long the post is off you might have to relearn the window switches but it's easy.

Hold the brake pedal down after you disconnect the battery to discharge the system.

I'm in the middle of putting in a sound system and the only thing I've notice that I have to do is reset the power windows, everything else seemed to be ok...

"Corrosion Control Module". I can't fit one of those on my engine because my Fuel Ionizing Hydrogen Generator is in the way. I'm reluctant to disconnect it because I'm sure that any day now it will kick in and I'll start getting the 73 MPG that the advertisments gauranteed.

After you disconnect the negative cable from the battery, nothing electrical in the vehicle will function.

That is what will happen.

I am here to help.

You're welcome.

Make sure you pop the trunk first if you need to! Can't tell you how many times I have forgotten and had to reconnect!
