On my '76 Shadow 1 I've a problem with all the windows. Only the drivers and one behind worked. I noticed that pressing switch for the ones that worked showed discharge on ammeter, but nothing on ones that didn't work. I pressed reset button in glove compartment and rear l/h worked once, using switch in door, I felt quite pleased. Returning to main switch in drivers door I found nothing worked. I've checked fuses and keep pressing reset button, but no luck. Are there any other fuses? I've seen 2 behind reset.
I'm now stuck with 3 half open windows.
Any help appreciated.

If you have no power at all at the master switch, it is likely one or 2 of the wires within the door conduit has flexed and broken. This requires removing the the carpeted side panel in the footwell to expose the 3 multipin connectors, one of which is the driver's door. Try to opening the door a few times while holding the switch. It may work.
