Icon5 windows/door locks gone haywire

We purchased a 2007 Honda Accord LX in January, the master window switch had to be replaced. Everything worked fine, until the window motor went out on the drivers side. We replaced it, the everything worked fine. Randomly one night about a month ago the car started locking and unlocking itself, somehow managed to get it to stop, windows still worked fine. Yesterday it started locking and unlocking again, this time the windows went haywire as well. Attempted to put them down due to the heat, they went down then automatically went up when I cut the switch off. Kept messing with it and they finally stayed down, but put themselves back up within a few minutes. One time I tried to put the passenger window down and the drivers window opened. Do I need to reset something or has this switch gone bad already? It was a oem switch, not that that really seems to matter. Also in that time, the electronic part of the ignition switch was replaced. New to Honda, so trying to figure this out, cant afford to take it to the dealer right now, but really need the windows to work. Any suggestions?

I think I remember seeing some videos on YouTube about this issue. You might want to look there.

Likely a bad master switch or damaged door harness. Check wiring in the driver door boot. Try a battery reset and window reprogram. Switch may still be faulty even if OEM.
