Looking for help: possible footwell module?

Hey guys, I am looking for help from the experts here. My car is now showing symptoms of a failed foot well module but a few things lead to that and I am wondering if my diagnosis is right or not. The first thing I did today was swap my bumper for an M sport bumper, I do not have fog lights so I know that was going to throw a code. Fast forward a few hours and I unplugged my battery to remove my steering wheel to wrap it. I was able to remove the airbag and remove the steering wheel, before I went to go inside I tried to roll up my windows and that’s when I noticed they didn’t work. Obviously, I had to reconnect the battery and there were a ton of warning lights but I didn’t realize it would cause any issues, did I fry something? Thank you in advance for any help or advice you guys can give me

Disconnected battery, reconnected it and now power windows don't work? Yup, your FRM is fried.

Scan the vehicle, you will have a "no communication with FRM module" fault.

Yes, that’s exactly it. So my options are repair or replace?

Repairing it would be the cheapest option.
Do you have the part number of your unit? Maybe I can help..

Go on eBay and buy another one for $50-$100.
