Default Window rolled down by itself

This morning on the way to work, my passenger window went down by itself. It wouldn't respond when I tried to roll it up for a few seconds, and when it did start to go up it went back down as soon as I released the button. After a minute or so it returned to normal operation. What could it be? A bad window switch? Door control module? It rained pretty good last night, and I was unfortunate enough to have to drive in it for a bit. Maybe the water brought out the electrical gremlins?

Default Window gremlins

Hi, pull back the accordians that house the wires and connectors between the door and front pillar, and check very closely for a shorted wire or loose connector. Good Luck

Does it do the same thing when you use the passenger side window switch ?
