73 power window problem
Both windows in my 73 stopped working. I assume this is a fuse or circuit breaker problem. Can someone help me with the location of the circuit breaker. much thanks!!

Main fuse panel is on the interior of the firewall, above your left foot. A real PIA location for a fuse panel. I believe that's where the window circuit is fused, but actually can't remember because I've never had to look for that circuit (knock on wood).

The circuit breaker for the power windows is located in the fuse panel. It is 30 amp and the panel is marked. If that's not the problem the power window relay is another possibility. Have you been under the dash for anything recently and perhaps disconnected a wire accidentally? Check for a red wire with a white or black connector on the end that would go into a slot marked IGN. I had the same issue as you where both windows stopped working all of a sudden. I changed the circuit breaker and the power window relay both before discovering that the power feed for the relay was unplugged from the fuse panel where it was marked IGN, plugged it back in and my windows worked. Good luck, hope this helps.
