Window problem

I know that there are a lot of threads about this problem but i would like some advice about my problem because I don't want to spend money for nothing so here is the problem:

- until a few days ago the window was working fine if i was opening the door from inside, the window was going down the light was turning on and the window was staying down until i was closing the door BUT from outside when i was opening the door the window was going down the light in the car was turning on but when i was releasing the door handle the window was going up and the light in the car was turning off.

- now the it doesn't matter from where i am opening the door the problem persist, the window is going down normally but when i am releasing the door handle (inside the car or outside the car) the window is going up and the lights in the car turning off.

I hope you understand what I wanted to explain

osj911 is infamous around these parts
I'm having this exact same problem right now. I think its an issue in the latch with the electronics/wiring. Haven't had time to look into it yet however. For other people browsing to clarify the issue:

-Open the door using the interior latch (from the inside): Window drops down and stays down until door is closed
-Open the door using the exterior handle (from the outside): Window drops down but when the handle is released, the window goes back up. Therefore when you close the door, the window doesn't align and gets pushed outwards. (Teeth cringing ensues as well!)

The expectation is until the door is closed, the window should stay down.

I had a similar issue but mine was that the car couldn't tell if the door was open or closed.
I could hear the micro switchs clicking but the window wouldn't move up or down or it would do both really quickly.
Replacing the door latch assembly inside the door fixed my issue.
