This happened to me just a few nights ago. Have a look at this thread:

I'm just about to order some of these heat shrink butt connectors, some extra wire, and some heat shrink and give it a go this weekend.

Steelee,
I fixed mine last night. Here are a load of photos of the process.
If you're considering fixing it yourself getting the white plastic clip out can be quite difficult, and you'll need a T20, T30, and T40 torx screw to pull it off. Also a dab of solder and some heat shrink would make for a much cleaner connection than using butt connectors in hindsight.

Strange how it always seems to be the wires on the left side.
I can see why now having rechecked the wiring diagram.
The right switch is a two wire connections and they would have been programmed to be trimmed differently, so not a mirror image with the same cropping fault.
I wonder how often this produces roof faults as my roof did judder with this fault.
