Default Electric Window prob on 75 Shark.

Went out in the car yesterday and at the start of my return journey the electric windows worked. By the end they didn't! Both sides don't work. They draw no current as the lights don't dim and the ameter doesn't swing to the left. Everything else electric seems to work. Which fuse feeds them, and I suspect more importantly, where do they pick up their earth return?
Any thoughts?
Cheers, Rob.

Take the panel off on the left side (drivers side) of your center console. About halfway up, between the shift and the ashtray there is a relay/ground for the windows. There is most likely a loose connection. Take it off and put it back on - wiggle it around - make sure thats what it is. Then replace the metal connector and reattach. When I had this problem with mine it was a pain in the butt to figure out what the prob was but once I did it was very simple to fix. The connectors cost about 2 cents at a hardware store.

If you have trouble locating it let me know - I'll send you a picture of the part.
