I have a 2003 Town Car Signature. I was having a problem with the driver side power window that wasn't going up so I was probing the window switch with a multimeter and I accidently shorted out a few of the terminals. After that none of the windows would work anymore, the power lock switches won't work (although I hear the relay clicking in the DDM), the trunk release button doesn't work (again the relay clicks in the DDM), the moonroof doesn't work, and I don't get reception on any AM radio channels (although FM radio and all other radio functions work fine).

Power seats, power windows, and all other features are working.

Did I destroy the DDM? I've read on some post that you will need to reprogram the DDM if you install a used one, is that true even if you match the model numbers? Besides the DDM is there anything else that could explain the symptoms I am having?

I have checked the fuses and didn't see any that were blown. I also bought a new window switch and that didn't have any positive effect.

Thanks,
Keith

You can replace the DDM without reprogramming if the the replacement has the same exact options as your car.
