Default Window indexing problems

Passenger side window has been going kinda crazy the last couple weeks. I didn't wanna take it in to the dealer until it was a problem that presented itself everytime.

What happens is every time I start/stop my car, the window indexes up/down/up/down non-stop until I either put it into drive or it stops after doing it for a minute when I lock the car. Anyone have any thoughts? I have already tried to window index it again and no help. Also, the power to the door died yesterday and I had to use the latch to open the door. Mysteriously worked again this morning but window indexing problem is still there. I am going to take it to the dealer this weekend, is this something I can just do a walk in for or do I need to make an appointment?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes and then re-index both windows.

OH NO! It has a broken leg..You will have to "put it down"!..
Just take it to the dealer. Sounds like a problem w/the control module.

Just a guess, but it sounds like a flakey door release button, inside/out or a wiring problem.

Good luck
