Good question, however I cannot give you a precise answer. All I know is that there are electrical connections in the mechanism that went bad. Caused the window to go up/down, stereo to not shut off, it was a pain. If you are having these type of issues, replace the mechanism. Had to get mine off Ebay several months ago, still working great!

I am assuming that resetting the windows means indexing them. I had the same issue with window indexing on its own intermittently. The radio wouldn't always stay on, but it would occasionally. Did you replace the latch assembly?

Thanks for the info. Unless I understood it wrong, another guy said he changed the mechanism on the door post instead of the door.
I'm think I'm going to try changing the battery. The battery is only 2 years old but the problem seems to pop up after I haven't driven the car for a while,,(even with the charger hooked up). Also the other day when I hit the start button, the engine cranked once then stopped. I hit the button again and it cranked and started normally.
So maybe ???

did you replace the part or did the dealer? Is it a hard job? I’m seeing the parts on eBay that come with the cable and manual door pop latch,
should I buy the whole setup used or just buy the new part you listed earlier and then transfer my cable with latch to the new part?

I see lots of them, used on Ebay. I would be worried they are for sale because they have the same issue.
For $140 new, not the most expensive part.

Video would be awesome. Its a tough one to wrap your head around, because the part vs. the issue doesn't make much sense.

If it malfunctions like ours did (mine even had a small metal chunk fall out when I removed it), it will send the signal to the computer to index the window at improper times. when you see that there are many wires going into the module, it makes sense that it could cause an issue. I’m just glad the part was cheap and not too complicated to install.
but at first when I read about it, it didn’t make sense to me either how that part could cause the issue.
