Default Power windows keep blowing fuse

Can anyone tell me where the relay is for the power windows in a 71
Went to run car yesterday and the windows did not work. I replaced the fuse and it blows when I turn the key on. I am trying to isolate where the problem could be. I plan on unplugging the relay and turning on the key to see if it blows. If not I will plug the relay back in and unplug the red/white wire to the switches and see if it blows.

At least can some tell me if my logic is correct?

Yesterday I had the door panels off and jumped the motors, they worked fine.

I hate to say check your AIM but.... you might want to check your AIM.
On the 72, the relay is fastened to a brace that runs sideways near the front of the shifter console.... drivers side, on the shifter side of the brace where you can't see it from the side radio panel

Hopefully it's somewhere else in 71
