Does this sound like the window TSB or to work of a haunted wizard?

So my pesky quarter back windows have a mind of their own. Sometimes they go down for no apparent reason, other times when I open the front they go down. Then to really taunt me they stay down. I have to trick them into submission by putting the top down then up to get the buggers back into place.

Is this a haunted sensor? DIY fix possible?

While there is not an obvious answer to your problem replacing a weak battery is an often a solution.

Another issue may be the micro switch at the top of the right top ram. It is key in reporting the status of the top. There are other micro switches associated with the top latch that also report the status of the top.

Report the status of the battery and we will go from there.

I have a great deal of information on the roof operation and you can find that info by going to the FAQ at the bottom or go directly to my page with the link below. Specifically I think from what you are saying is that the windows go up and down without your interaction. If this is your case I would suggest checking the switch on the console the only other things that would cause this would be your door lock or the body/security control module. I feel it is your switch on your console! Now if you are having a problem with the windows going up, you have a switch at the latch that must be satisfied before pressure is applied to the lift cylinder. If the cylinders are not completely extended the windows will not go up http://www.gusglikas.com/AutoRepairH...lOperation.htm

I do agree with Tom to check your battery first!
