It blows #8 fuse whenever anybody rolls the windows down using the console switches. Both switches are newish and have been functioning fine. Fuse #8 links the front passenger/rear driver's windows. I suspect either broken wires, a sticky regulator track, or a stiff motor in one of those doors as the cause. Car has been sitting for long periods so the sticky reg or motor would be likely in my mind.

So before I go pulling the door panels off to check I wanted to know how many amps they were supposed to pull. I suppose since they are 8 amp fuses the motors should not be pulling more than 8 amps, and when I find the one that is pulling more than 8 amps I will theoretically have found my problem. I hoped somebody here who had gone through similar would be able to give me a definitive number.
