Very simple: the switch is dirty: you need to remove the switch, take it apart and clean the contacts and put it back together. To prove that the switch us at fault you simply transfer the connector to the passenger side window and vice versa.

Model year and body style are usually helpful but the usual first step is to swap window switches and see if anything changes

Cheers

If you put your vehicle details in your signature model and year will help the tech guys tailor responses for your car, there a a couple of different setups, are your switches in a plastic faceplate or directly into the console?

Being a 92 your switches should be in a bezel, these have tabs on the left and right sides, be careful when you pry them out as they break easy, don't ask, as the plastic becomes brittle over time.

Once out you can remove the switches from the bezel, but before doing this swap the connectors to verify the switch is the problem.

I think the best tip to remove the bezel starts off with ordering a new bezel. They were NLA for a long time, but are now available again.

I think you'll have to remove the armrest cubbyhole to get to the one screw that keeps the ski slope in place. One the screw is removed, you can angle the ski slope up and stick your hand underneath to ease out the switch assembly, including the ability to disconnect each switch from the harness.
