A power window switch that stops working in your Suzuki Alto can be caused by several factors:

Faulty Switch: Over time, the power window switch can wear out, especially if it’s been used frequently. This can prevent it from sending a signal to the motor.
Loose o r Damaged Wiring: Wiring issues can also prevent the switch from functioning. Wires may be loose o r corroded, breaking the electrical connection.
Blown Fuse: If the fuse associated with the power window system blows, the switch will not work.
Faulty Window Motor o r Regulator: Sometimes, the issue might be with the window motor o r regulator. If they fail, the switch won’t be able to control the movement of the window.
How to fix it:

Inspect the window switch for any visible signs of damage, such as loose connections o r physical wear. Replace the switch if necessary.
Check the wiring that connects the switch to the window motor. Look for frayed o r disconnected wires.
Replace the blown fuse if you find that the fuse is burnt out.
Test the window motor and regulator to make sure they are functioning properly. If either is faulty, they may need replacement.
