Default Front window one works other not

I was overwhelmed to receive my 96 XJS last night. It is a real cherry (19000 miles)

Everything was going well, all electronics were performing as if new. This morning, first I tried the front windows work perfectly.
Then I tried the convertible top, also perfect.
After I tried the drivers window again, you no what happens next. I tried the passenger window, goes up and down.
To conclude I have one operating window and according to the 96 owners manual that came with original car, the front windows share the same fuse.

What should I try next?
Thanks Robert

In all my Jaguars my window problems have all been switch related, usually a good pull apart, and cleaning of the switch will get it working again.

Agreed. Clean the switch. That should take care of it.

FIXED, moved the switch a few mils with a tool and it snapped back.. That's it. It works now.
I have no idea what I did.
