Default 2005 Audi A8L 4.2L Parking Break question

Hey guys, i recently got an A8 and love this car.

But i have a problem with my parking brake, i did some work around the car and i figured out that one of the motors is shot. I went ahead and ordered and new motor and installed it. It still didnt work, so i took it out of the caliper and tried to make it work(thinking it maybe stuck). It started working!

Well after i refit everything and installed it back, both of my motors stopped working. Got 4 codes, both for motors now, cant erase them or anything.

Did i mess something up when i ran the motor outside of the caliper?
and is there a way to reset what those motors think because im pretty sure i confused the ECM

It would be better to look for help in A8/S8 D3 forum. See you there.
