You have a short somewhere. I am giving you the wiring diagrams for the power windows and the headlights circuits.
Check all the grounds for each and find if they share any common areas where a short form exposed wires could cause a short. It sounds like the foglamp relay might have gotten toated as well so it may need replacement.
