Default circuit breaker question- 66 coupe

do the headlamp door motors and power window motors both run off the same 40 amp circuit breaker......and if so, is it possible for the power windows to work, while the headlights won't go up and down?
thanks for any info. pusher

Pusher:

If your headlight motors do not work, check your two firewall connector blocks in addition to the circuit breaker.

Awhile back my headlight motors suddenly quit working, and I tracked it down to the firewall connectors. The clips came loose and one of the connectors backed out slightly. Headlight motors quit working, but everything else electrical appeared to work okay. After I pushed the connector back in and secured the plastic clips, the headlight motors began working again as they did before. No other changes.

It helps to spray some WD40 on the pins. Keeps 'em from corroding. I would also check the fat red wire. All the accessory current flows thru it
