Phantom windows

Ok so for the past 8 months or so whenever the car would be on, if i just tap the drivers side window it automatically goes all the way down and it wont go back up unless you turn off the car, lock it, and put the key back in. so when i get in the vehicle, before i start it, i set the window where i want. (tap the button and turn the key off when it gets to its desired location) but as of yesterday, ill set it where i want, and after about 30 seconds or so it goes down all by itself. i dont touch anything whatsoever and it automatically rolls all the way down. pretty annoying in the rain. any ideas as to what the issue is here?

Switches or panel going bad. Remove from door, clean internals and re-install.

The BCM has noooothing to do with the power windows.

It's the "express down module" almost 100%... a small solid state computer module attached to the driver's side window switch.

Buy a new full driver's side window switch assembly and you should be good to go, can't fix this.

Rock auto has them. But their super expensive if you have a 4 door. I would try your local junkyard first.
