Default 74 power windows

My 74 has been in the garage for the last few months and driven occasionally, the last time I took it out neither power window worked. Where should I start before motor replacement since both stopped at the same time? Any help would be appreciated!

There should be a circuit breaker installed in the "PWR ACCY" slot of the fuse box. Remove it and check for continuity with a test light or ohmmeter.

Sorry. The circuit breaker from '68 - '74 isn't in the fuse box--it's on the firewall. I suggest you study this thread. If the breaker is OK make CERTAIN to check the fuse (in the box) mentioned before tearing DEEP into the center console to get to the power window relay!
