Default Windows freaking out Help??

I just started up car this morning on my 08. The first thing that happened was the window kept indexing itself and I could not get it to stop for about 5 mins. It was only the driver side but when I went to get out of the car the door would not open, I had to use the overide. After I got out and shut the door the window went nuts again and the door would once again not open. I did notice that if I used the remote and depress the lock button the indexing would stop but it made a strange pulsing noise as the window sealed up.
Any clues or point me in the correct direction to find out would be appreciated
Thanks
Steve

Replace the door touchpad. You can try cleaning it, but it's only $15 for a new one.

Corrosion of the touchpad is a common problem, especially in warm & humid areas.

Of course, it might be something else...

Install Tip: Be sure you do NOT drop the wiring harness into the door.

Whens the last time you replaced the car battery? I had weird stuff like this happening to me for about 2 months before the battery died(none has happened since).
