Fuse? Fairly sure it's on it's own fuse, check the manual to find out which one.

So wiring doesn't normally cause problems?

Possible but I've never heard of it, these cars aren't normally prone to bad wiring. Check the fuses first, it's the simplest thing and the most likely.

Good time to swap the switch for the timered one, rather than having to switch it off your self, iirc it stays on for 15 mins.

Have you checked the actual tracks on the window? Unlikely for them all to be broken but just maybe if something scraped against the inside of the window when you were loading it into the boot...
