Hi Sandi,

 

You need to open the window fully and hold the button down for a few seconds, then close it and it should have reset the operation.

I'm sure I'll get corrected if I'm wrong, but I think the process you need to reset the window end-points is as follows. It worked for me.

Sit in the car (it doesn't work with the door open) ignition on.

Wind the window down and then hold it down until you hear a very quiet click from inside the door, about 10 seconds at the most I seem to remember. It's a very quiet click, or I'm getting older and deafer than I thought, which is always possible.

Then wind the window up until its fully closed against the frame and hold it there until you hear the little click again. 

That should reset the window end points. It might not cure the problem, but there again it just might.

 

Good luck.

my XK8 drivers window won't move, it worked when i got the car and then failed, i put a new battery on and it worked a couple of time and failed again so to got a new window switch from jaguar fitted it and still no luck, any ideas please.

I am working on that with my xk8 right now. I believe it is not the window switch but the interior door handle that needs to be replaced. I also tried the reset procedure with no luck, and my passenger window does the correct lowering and raising again when you open and close the door.
