Went to the mountains truck ran perfect, windows worked great, got up the next morning and I can not get the shift lever out of park and the windows will not come down. The fuse for the electric windows was blown, I replaced it and as soon as I turned the ignition on it blew again. All other fuses are good.
This has never happened before.

    I wonder do the shift lock solenoid and electric windows circuits cross at any point? Looking at a wiring diagram fuses 6 and 15 both 5 amp fuses protect the brake light circuit and the shift lock solenoid. A 30 AMP fuse in the battery junction fuse box protects the window circuits. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect....
