So replacing the switch doesn't really solve the problem, since I assume no one really knows the exact cause for this issue?
Two different issues, unfortunately. The issue that the new window switches fixes is the auto up-down intermittentcy on the passenger window. The windows "losing" their programming is something else entirely, and most commonly occurs (for me anyway) after it rains. I suspect it's related to the screeching noise the windows exhibit when they're wet. Something is binding up inside the door causing the window to get stuck, which resets the remember full up/down positions. Just a guess, though.
