it's not a fuse, it's a circuit breaker. Are two circuit breakers in fuse box under drivers dash one is for rear window defroster and power locks, the other for power windows.

Don't be suprised if one breaker is nowhere to be found, they can get loose over time and fall out of their socket.

How do they look? Do they look like larger metal fuses? If so, i found them, and they are not the problem. What would prevent just my power windows from not working? This happened all of a sudden.Every other electrical thing works except these two windows. I need to roll them up so my car does not get broken into. Please HELP!!!

it's very unlikely that both window motors themselves would suddenly fail at the same time.

more likely there is something wrong with the wiring or switches going to the motors.

Have you tried swapping locations of the two metal cased circuit breakers on the fuse panel? If power windows suddenly come to life, but power locks no longer work after the swap, you've found your problem.

If no sucess swapping breakers, start probing around with a voltmeter. Should have power at one pin of the WDO circuit breaker socket when ignition key is turned on. Power should also be present at a terminal on each window switch.

it's supposed to automatically reset after a short period of time. sounds like the breaker has failed and is in need of replacement.
