Default Turn the key on and the passenger window rolls down

When I turn the key to the on position the passenger window rolls down. It just started last week. It does it 80% of the time. Anyone know how to stop the "feature"?

Go to the dealer and get it fixed... Many of the functions within the JK are controlled by single wires or at least many LESS wires than prior vehicles. For example... a single wire may tell the windows to roll up or down, the doors to lock and unlock etc. It's all controlled by resistance through a single wire. So you may have a computer problem that is sending the wrong resistance to the computer and therefore the computer thinks you just said rolldown the passenger window.

slightly off topic, does anyone know if it's possible to have all the power windows roll down from the keyfob? My last car did this. Great way to cool the car off before you get inside.

With the right aftermarket alarm, yes.
