Default Windows temporarily stopped working

Was not sure if this belonged in the stock or modified section... Anyways, on my way to work today I noticed that my power windows were completely unresponsive. I didn't think about it too much as I had to get work and was hoping it was just a fuse. When I jumped in the jeep after work today the windows both functioned normally. It rained insanly hard last, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it, or if it was just a weird jeepism... anyone had this happen to them or have any ideas why this happened?

Same thing happened to me about a month ago. I stopped at daycare to pick up my son and after restarting all the windows worked again.

I think it has something to do with the CANBUS and the all the electronic controls. My Jeep has done some odd things electrical related.

It's a Jeep thing is taking on a new meaning -

Happened to me,

Lowered the driver side window at McD's drive thru and it would not go back up until I shut the engine and started back again.

Weird.
