Default Confused Power Window Controls

I recently purchased an '05 V50 T5 AWD. Everything worked fine when purchased. While I disliked the "auto" Power Window feature of the Drivers side - I figured I would get used to it.
About 2 weeks ago - I noticed that the "auto" function stopped working on it.
I didn't think much of it (my preference really) until I reallized that now my rear windows are both in "auto" mode. They now go down automatically when I touch the rear or master switch. Problem is when they go up - they go all the way up and then go down part way on their own.
I have to very delicately feather the switch up in micro touches to get them to go up just a tiny bit at a time so they don't reach the end of their travel or they automatically come down again.
So here it is in a nutshell:
a) Drivers Front - No Auto up/down function - just like a regular power window.
b) Passenger Front - Auto up/down - works just fine
c) Both Rear Door windows - Auto down/up but just keep going down about 2-3 inches when they reach their upper limit.
Funny thing is - both the master switch and the rear door switches work like this. I am used to my V70 where if it was going to mess up - it would be one or the other not both.

I am thinking that the circuit board is somehow corrupted (needs cleaning?). Then I need to know where the controlling board is before I can look at it.

Any suggestions/advice are welcome. Then I have to figure out how to repair.

Just take it to ur local volvo shop that has VIDA Diagnostics computer and have them calibrate the DDM and PDM. That will fix ur window problems.
