Used the the key fob to lock the truck. Returned a couple hours later to find both front windows open equally about 6 inches, doors still locked. How could this happen???

I believe before 2011 you could use the key fob (double press or long press, not sure) to make windows down to air out the cabin. That feature was removed on newer models.

The wife's '14Accord does that two-button-push window trick, so I tried it with the truck thinking I may have sat on the key fob in my back pocket. It doesn't work.

Works on mine too (2011). I think you have to unlock the truck first, then double press, and hold though. Maybe you hit the lock button again after?

Yup. That was it. Need to press UNLOCK, then press and hold UNLOCK and the windows will open. I must have been fumbling with it in the rain trying to get my 5 and 3 year old grandsons out.
Thanks guys.
