Could be. check round the sleeve between the door and body for water first. if dry inside. then trace the wires form behind the drivers side speaker and interrupt(cut one) if the problem goes away then it's the TC unit. If not check the window motor for water..

There's one kind of window switch that can start to do this all on its own. Destroyed a window motor on one of my cars.

Do you know for sure you have this option. It's quite rare.
