My automated windows in my 1994 325is are bugging out. They will jump up and down while I'm driving like the doors aren't closed all the way. The dome light also flickers on and off while this happens; I cannot lock my doors because the windows will jump and set off the alarm. Are my switches on the door latches bad on both doors?

Thanks

Yes, most likely your problem is with the sensor on the door.

Do you know how much it would cost to replace?

A door sensor isn't expensive I guess, go for a new one!
