Power window motor keeps running

My power window motor keeps running and kept running even after I turned the car off. Had to pull the fuse to get it to stop running. The first time it started, it was the driver's side in the back, we unplugged the wires to it and stopped it until we could fix it, but then it did it again but on the front window of driver's side so we had no choice but to pull the fuse. Not sure what is causing this problem, sort of weird that 2 window motors started doing the same thing at the same time, but its possible. Please help.

It looks like you have two problems first is the control relay is sticking on and you have a switch that is stuck. Here is a wiring diagram so you can see how the system works.

Here are some guides that will show you how to test the switch and relay.
