Outback "ghosts" in electronics

[RW Bailey]

2017 Outback. Battery posts were corroded, so I pulled them off, wire brushed them off and replaced them. Now the front passenger window doesn't work and the memory seats don't remember. Any ideas why?

Because when you disconnected the battery, you killed the memory so now you have to set it up again. However the dysfunctional window has nothing to do with memory so that's likely just coincidence.

How did you replace battery posts???

Some AGM batteries have screw/bolt on posts like the Odyssey batteries I prefer. However, the Odyssey posts are a hardened brass like substance.
