Re: XJ Power windows
Dave,
I posted a similar message last month regarding my '98 XJ. The most
common reply was that the wires are routed beneath the driver's carpet
and become disintegrated, so need to be spliced. I pulled the carpet
back, to find that on my car, there were no wires in the floor well.
They run behind the dashboard on my model.
Still, the advice that I should suspect failed wires was on-track,
because I found that when I (removed the driver's door panel and)
flexed the wires where they are fed into the door sheet metal, the
other switches got power, so the wire is broken. I had already had
the same problem with the driver's door speaker wire and had replaced
that wire loom. Good luck.

Re: XJ Power windows
Try shaking the DDM power door lock switch.
The DDR lockout switch breaks the ground contact with the three windows to
disable them.
On my jeep I needed to replace the DDM ($135)
You can also disable the switch by jumping the ground wires at the switch.
