Default my windows are haunted :(

so i let my friend borrow the S4 for the weekend so i could borrow his truck to go pick up a dirtbike. ever since then, occasionally my windows will freak out and start going up all by themselves, one at a time or more than one in unison, not connected to anything i do that i have noticed yet. WTF? should i look for loose wiring on the window controls in the door panel??

please help! i dont want a window to roll up and crush a passengers fingers!

Default could be water in the window switches....

that would be the first and easiest thing to check. He may have left a window down when it rained a bit. I'd ask him.

It's not a big deal if that's it, compressed air, letting it bake in the sun, or just time should correct it.

My sunroof does it, but b/c the contacts get dirty and/or misaligned from each other. THAT is a pretty dumb/complex design, and it's been warrantied once already. Out of warranty I'm doing my own fixes. But I digress.....
