Took her to the Auto Elec today. He fiddled with the rubber tube/cover that covers the wires & it hasn't missed a beat since. " /> But he said that if it happens again to take her back & he will fix. He didn't seem too keen tho, so maybe I'll take her somewhere else.

That would explain the problem.
As WIDEMR says the wires generally break inside the flexible rubber cover between the door post and the door, and the broken ends sometimes touch together when the door is opened and closed making the problem intermittent.
I have had it happen on two separate occasions on own my car, once with the speaker wire and once with the mirror control.

The door trim will need to be removed to get at the wires to the switches, and there is a plug under the trim at the bottom of the door post where the loom connects inside the car to test which wire is broken.
A new wire will need to be pushed through the flexible rubber cover and connected up to replace the broken one.

The wires in the door jam can break from flexing every time the door is open and closed, this is what was wrong with mine.

Found where it is. " /> Went to Autobarn. One of the guys took it out for me, nothing wrong with it. Turned key, window worked. Went down & up. I started car, checked again, didn't want to go down. Opened door, pushed button again, it went down. Then wouldn't go up. Pushed button & it locked the doors " />. Still wouldn't go up. Luckily drive home wasn't far. Turned car off, then back on, pushed button & window went up.
Think it's a trip to Auto Elec tomorrow morning.

thinking a loose connection or something?

Like Red said, kick panel is where I'd look first. Its right beside your right foot, from memory there's only one phillips head screw, the rest is just clipped in.
To get at it...well, basically you have to put your head in where your feet are normally are to see everything. It's pretty awkward.

Thanks reddarta.
Sounds tricky to get at. I might go & see my friends at Autobarn.

Drivers side 'kick panel' fuse box is located just forward of the frunk pull open knob. Sit on the door sill and reach in to feel for it.
A PITA to get at, and it has a cover that must be removed to get at the fuses.
There are 3 rows of fuses but the one you want (30 amp) is 2nd from the bottom in the row towards the rear of the car.
Anyway the fuse locations are marked on the cover.

My power windows stopped working " />. I'm hoping it's just a fuse, but can't find where the fuse is located. The book says something about "the drivers kick". I had a quick look this morning where I thought that would be but couldn't see it. Where exactly should I be looking?
