Default Power Window Relay Switch

I remember seeing a thread a while back about someone replacing the power relay switch to improve the window operation. I am working on the power windows on my '79 and I can't find a relay for the power windows in the assembly manual. Is there really a relay switch for the windows?

Thanks for the info. I may want to do that anyway or replace the harness to get better current flow.

On my 68, it right under the radio/heater controls. You'll have to remove the lower console to get it, I think. There are two: one for the windows, and one for the ?(crap, I forgot). There is also a breaker on the firewall beside the brake master cylinder. It's little and kinda hard to see.
