It sounds to me as if the polarity of your battery may have been
reveresed somehow.  If I were you, I would RUN out there and disconnect
it before you fry your PCM - if this is indeed the case.

It is also possible that the battery was so low, that the motor to
control the window wasn't able to reverse itself. Stranger things have
happened - and a low-current situation is something that can create
havoc with motors, solenoids, and switches.

Take the old battery out ASAP, and replace it with a nice clean new one.
