Default Trouble locating Power Window Relay

Hi, Aaron has been assisting me with this little problem of late. On his advise I searched for the PW relay in the shift console. Now, I looked right next to the shifter, is that to far back, or should I be looking up by where switch for the rear defog is? :blueangel:

On my '75 the relay was attached to the bottom of the hoop that holds the gauge/radio bezel up. If you have the shift console removed it should be forward of the climate controls.

Hmm, I didn't really look into this, but I believe my power windows don't have a relay...it appears to me that the wires from the switch run to the motor in the door. The switch does appear to have a 20amp rating so no relay is required. However, I have thought about adding some relays to take the stress off the switches.

I woulda sworn mine had a 10 amp fuse... And the gage cluster is on the same fuse.

68 and 69's have the PW relay under the hood, on the firewall, above the master cylinder. Chuck
