water on switches

So it was snowing yesturday and i opened up the window to see if the road was clear and 3 small slush chunks felt on my window/lock switches. ten minutes later sll the locks in my car start going up and down, lasted like 5 minutes, up down nonstop.

thing that gets me is that there were 2 times my mom left her sunroof open on her trailblazer for a whole weekend, with nonstop rain. no electrical problem just wet seats. Navigation wasn't affected either?!

anyone else have a problem with switches getting a lil wet?

Same thing happend to me. The power lock switch is shot. I got a new one from my local GM dealer for $13 bucks. It's an easy install, you just have to take the door panel off.

have you pulled them out and looked at them to see if anything on the circuit board is fried or corroded?
