Default Window Mysteriously Opening

My son's 96 A4 passenger front window is stuck open and will not respond to either door switch. He has also tried the key in the lock to close all windows. I believe it went down by itself also. Is this a known problem? I tried searching the forum, but have not found anything. Thanks. Steve

Default Probably the control module went south. I've never seen it, but have heard of it.

remove the interior door panel, unhook the harness, and fashion a jumper to apply + and - to the motor in such a way that will raise the window. I'd suggest keeping it unhooked till you can find a solution.

Default Any of you parts guys out there want to help out with this one? Looking for a part number here...

I forget if it's part of the central locking controller on a 96 or not.
