Blew fuse for power windows 200 1989

Besides the front passenger power window switch not working (because I'm an idiot and broke it), my power windows usually work fine. However, tonight I had three of the four rolled down and blew out the fuse when I tried to roll them up. So, I switched another fuse in, hoping that it was just a bad fuse, and then proceeded to blow that one too.

That would mean there is a short somewhere in the power windows. Are there any places I could easily check (I'll end up taking it into the shop, anyway, at least to get the original Volvo fuses--NAPA has weird, funny looking ones)?

I think that condensation caused it. The windows were slightly damp and rolled down fine, but then wouldn't come up. I've had this problem once before and I think that the windows worked fine after I changed the fuse (and when there was no condensation). Does that sound probable? What can I do to prevent it?
