Power windows don't use a fuse, they use a circuit breaker due to the high draw of the motors.The circuit breaker #47 for this and it is in the smart box or under hood fuse box. Here is a guide to help you see where you are losing power and the window wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

No, they reset themselves. If no power then the breaker is bad. It should be visible like a fuse. I do not have access to our manual to show where it is. If under hood it should be marked on underside cover of box.

Thank you. I have read that if I disconnect the battery for about thirty minutes it may reset breaker, do you agree?

No, breakers do not work like that. If you have no power at your switch then the breaker/fuse is bad or a short in wire.

I got frustrated and slammed the car door closed and for some reason all the windows started working. I am thinking a loose wire in door wiring.

Okay, I went to a Ford manual and got this for you to check. There are three different fuses and a relay to check. See picture.

It may be that or a wire broken between the door and jamb.
