If ithe fuse keeps blowing then one of the feeds to the window circuit is being shorted to earth. Might be a switch or relay at fault, or the feed cable for the motor has maybe had its insulation rubbed through, causing a short.

As said you have a dead short, so need looking at, could even be buggered motor, but hopefully something simple.
