AFAIR, on my 85 5kt, the current limiters were placed in the aux relay
panel underneath the dash. Either that or in some fusebox in the well by
the driver's seat. I seem to remember four 1/4 x 1 inch metallic modules in
one of those locations.
However, if all windows are failing at the same time, I doubt it's the
thermal current limiters. Page through the wiring diagrams in your Bentley
manual and find out what common connections there are for the windows.
