electrical shortage?

hello to fellow 6speeders and a happy new years to all..

i need advice or help if anyone could fill me in on how to fix my electical issue i ran into yesterday.

so i unlocked my car with the keyless alarm button on my key and the driverside door unlocks but the passenger side door makes a constant clicking noise like its trying to unlock. the security LED light on my dash stays lit and also the power lock switch on my dash stays lit aswell. when i tried opening the passenger side door and the windows acts weird by going up and down constantly.

the passenger side door wont open and the car will not start or turn over at this point. the car has been sitting outside in the snow and rain this past month and i decided to take it out since the roads cleared up.. i was thinking maybe water/snow seaped in somewhere and caused a shortage to create all this?..

heres the interesting part of the story..

I finally gave up and locked my car door and left it at my works parking lot over night. BOTH of my windows rolled down BY ITSELF! in the middle of the night while it was sitting there.. my co workers called me early in the morning asking me why are both windows are rolled down in this crazy rain/wind storm were having and now my interior is completely soak and wet with a puddle of water on my floor.

can anyone please give me some advice on how to get the car started again or disable the locks? is there a factory security kill switch hidden somewhere? i dont like the thought of my car being parked at my works parking lot for so long..

I bet your battery is flat and that is why your car is freakin out. Check the battery level using a voltage reader.
