Sounds like a massive voltage drop. Check the main power and ground cables first then move onto the smaller ones, engine to body and frame, there are even grounds inside around the dash area.

but if the problem is in the cables why I can open the window and the roof by the car keys but I can't open it by the button in the car

It sounds like you need a new battery. You can have 12 volts in a battery but not the amperage to do any work.

Bad or corroded cables can only handle small loads. You need to run voltage drop tests.
