Window switch stopped working

While I was driving this afternoon I "rolled" the driver window down and then up - no problem. After I stopped at the store and started home wind noise from the door was awful. Stopped and checked it out and the window hadn't dropped when the door closed. I then tried the window switch and nothing. The passenger window was working fine. Tried syncing the windows but nothing happened. Any ideas?

I checked and all the fuses in the fuse box appeared OK but the fuse sheet in the box didn't list which were the window switches. The 560SEL is at the shop right now for some brake work so I'll swing by and have them check out the switch Monday.

There are also some fuses in the trunk right by the right side hinge, I think this is where the window fuses are.

Pete,

That was it. The fuse was dirty and after I cleaned it and re-sync'ed the window all is back as it should be.

Thank you
