Power windows keep blowing fuses - '78
Ok so aside from the obvious screw from a kick pannel cutting a wire in the center console; what should I check?
I have heard:
* that one motor may be going bad causing a short.
* a switch could be shorting.
* the dreaded kick pannel screw. (I mean the threaded one)
I am hoping to find the issue without replacing motors, wiring and switches.
Anyone from Painless want to donate a complete harness?
As always inputs are appreciated.

all you need to know to isolate it is when does the fuse blow? With the key on? drivers button pressed up or down? passenger button pressed up or down?
If it is with the key on, there is a problem between the fuse panel and the switch. If its when a button is pressed it will be in that branch
