Default Window keeps indexing issue

The last two times that I closed the drivers door after exiting, the window indexes up tight and then indexes back down as if the door were being opened. This goes on continuously until I reopen the door and shut it again. Then it indexes back to the top and stays like it should. I have just now reindexed my windows to see if that helps, the battery has not been disconnected or any loss of electrical power.

Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Do you have both sets of keys in the car? I know when my wife rides with me and she has her key it can cause this issue sometimes. As well as screwing up the AC and other accessories when I fire the car back up.

TSB for this, and note that it says that BOTH door switches should be replaced if one is bad:

Thanks a ton.
I have saved this info and if it continues I will have the dealer take care of it.
