When placing transmission in reverse, or when in drive, and driving down the road, the driver power window will inch its way down a little at a time without anyone touching the power window buttons. I can power the window back up, but it will soon start going back down on its own. When in park, I do not seem to recall having this issue occur. The wipers will also start operating on their own with the wiper knob in the off-position, but not necessarily at the same time the window malfunctions. This also happens only while driving. Pulling the fuses is the only way to stop this from happening. I have already replaced the window and the wiper relays, the battery saver relay. That did not solve the problem.

The problem will be in the switch or wiring check for a loose connection at switch or very lose switch that activates window. Also, if you have a window lock apply that and see if it changes things. Also, check the two relays in picture especially the one touch relay it may be applying due to driving motion in car. See picture.
