2010 Ram 3500. Doors unlock and front windows open when no one is around and truck is parked. Can't seem to find anything on this.
Mysterious unlocking and window opening.

Key fob going bad. As you move with it in your pocket it triggers unlock button.

And I believe the fob also has the windows down feature like my 2011 did.

My FOB doesn't have a windows down feature and I changed to my spare FOB and it still happened.

If it does it with both fobs maybe the receiver shorting out/going bad. Also, when you switched fobs was the first one still in range? I'd take out the battery just to rule that totally out.
As for the auto-down windows I thought Rams had that until about 2013. I suppose it's possible yours had the hardware but not a fob... meaning it could be getting triggered if the receiver is going haywire.
Or..... maybe you have a crazy ex who made a copy of your fob screwing with you??

It seems one of the fobs was the culprit although why the windows were opening is a mystery. There is no window button on the fob. Thanks for the help.

If you press UNLOCK twice then hold the front windows should go down, with either FOB. I think they disabled the feature in 2012 but it can be reactivated with AlfaOBD on newer RAMs.

Another suspect is TIPM, usually it isn't a relay but the solder joint in the TIPM. Find the relay and bypass it for an easy fix, cig lighter is one option, but since I dont think it is hot all the time the door lock wouldnt work. either way I would pull relay until I can fix it.
