Default Power windows/fuse

OK Braintrust! Todays challenge:

Which fuse in the fuse block would the power windows draw from?? lost PWR to both windows, so assuming (always dangerous) that it blew a fuse...

Thanks in advance!!!

What? No owner’s manual? Better yet get a Chevrolet shop manual; electrical trouble shooting manual as well. Also, get a 1979 shop manual, It’s easier to read than the 78, and almost exactly the same, and has the electrical trouble shooting manual with color wiring diagrams in the same book.

Here’s the relevant page in the shop manual-electrical troubleshooting manual.

Thanks for the info...
Ended up being the window relay under the console Jumped the hot lead to the relay and both windows worked enough to confirm wiring and fuses were ok...
