Passenger window opening mysteriously
My passenger window opened mysteriously in the middle of night on my is250 and I have no idea why... air know you can open the windows through the key fob but that would open all the windows right?? Nut just one. I am so lost because of this does anybody know why this is happening.

Are we sure that awesome Vodka from Iceland had nothing to do with it?
Just kidding. Is it happening all the time or just happened once? If it is happening all the time, then try this.
1. Close all the windows.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery for about 10 minutes.
3.Re-connect the battery but, don't try to open/close any windows.
4.Go to sleep. (Be sure to take the key-fob out of your pajama pockets). I have gone to bed holding my key-fob. That is how much I love this car.
5.Check in the morning if the window is down. If yes, (a) Trip to the dealer is recommended. If No, (b) Go to step 6.
6. Start the car. Go to each door and roll down the window. Then roll it up and hold the switch in the up position for about 5 seconds longer after the window has fully closed before letting it go. Repeat for the remaining three doors.
7. Repeat step 4 if it is that time again on day 2.
8. Check in the morning. If windows are still up, problem solved. Else, I am afraid only thing I can suggest after my third glass of cheap Russian Vodka is, step 5a.
Cheers and good luck. Would love to find out what actually caused it if you ever mange to track it down.

If the 1 window that was down was the only window that had been set to auto up/down then the key fob would only roll that window down. FYI when u do a battery reset u only have to crack the window about an inch then go back up and keep holding the switch for about 3 to 5 seconds.I feel like i only hold it for about 2 to 3 seconds.
