    Good morning,
    I’m not sure which needs to be replaced so I’d rather just replace both of them. Is there a power window fuse? If so I’d like to find out where I can buy one. Also if that small box looking thing the relay? If so does anyone know where I can buy one of those as well?
    Ok so I realized that there is no fuse for power windows it’s a circuit breaker which I ordered two. However the current one I have now allows me to move my seats but not roll my windows up or down... so it must be the relay

    If you check out the 2nd pic are you able to identify what that piece is?

    blue box looks like the key reminder/seat belt reminder
    not sure about the right color for 1973, in later models they were a lighter blue

    check for power at the main door switch

    if the seat works, the circuit breaker is good

    I’m assuming it’s the relay however would the seats work even if the relay was bad?

    Im not 100% sure but i think the power windows and power seats are both powered by the same circuit
    check your 1973 chassis service manual to be sure

    i was thinking:
    power seat(s) always work, power windows only work with ignition on
    so maybe not the same circuit

    windows are powered by the circuit breaker in the fuse block:

    I’m not too sure I understand,
    So the part that I already ordered should solve the problem? Could mine just be worn out even though it works for the seats?
