Fred you probably just kicked some wires out of the fuse box with your big feet , 12 orange /black stripe and 18 pink / black stripe
If not check the PWR ACCY circuit breaker at the top of the fuse box.
Then check the the GAUGES fuse

I don't know about your year car, but early C3's had a circuit breaker for the power windows on the driver's side of the firewall (engine compartment). {elongated silver cannister with two studs/nuts connecting the power leads}
