Get it scanned .Windows must be getting a live feed from somewhere , shouldn't work without the ignition on .Disconnect air flow meter and see how engine runs / how it affects it .

does it buzz for a long while? sounds like a problem with ignition switch or a wiring problem maybe with water in a connector somewhere
