The stock fuse location is on the rear of the fuse panel, you have to remove it from the mount, and flip it over to plug in the spade.....I'll try to find location, (but right now it's 10 degrees and 20 mph winds)

It is nice and warm on my web site. This page (Power Windows - Gary's Garagemahal) shows the wiring, and identifies the circuit as C1960.

And this one (Fuse Block & Circuit Protection - Gary's Garagemahal) shows where Circuit 1960 plugs in. But, note that the windows appear to take a plug-in breaker, not a fuse.

I had pictures of the back of the fuse panel and the wiring and all that, I'm thinking of using that stuff for my power bucket seats... someday... maybe....

I'm pretty good with mechanical stuff but when I do electric stuff I get smoke signals

I saw a web site once that had a tutorial on reading smoke signals but I lost the link
Thanks for the links and the help I have lots more questions thanks again

Don't let the smoke out, that stuff is really hard to get back in. Luckily, there's a replacement you can use.

Not sure where to get it though, or if it's compatible with your year.

I don't think is in compatible as Lucas is for U.K. cars/trucks/cycls.
You also have to watch out for the positive ground they use.
So that smoke is not good for us.
