First the battery light came on and had it tested at a auto parts store, battery was too low to get a accurate test. The battery but the was 6 months past the warranty.
Replaced the battery and the battery light stayed on.
On the way to have the charging system checked (the next day) the air bag light came on and stayed on battery light was still on. After driving the car 30 miles+_ the battery light went out and is staying off. The charging system was checked and is working normally (this was after the battery light went out). Air bag light is staying on and has been on for a week. The two 10a fuses in the dash are both visually look ok, not blown. No one at the auto parts store could find a reason for the air bag light to be on.
The power windows do not work on any of the four doors. The power windows was working after the battery light came on and before the battery was replaced. A day or two after the battery was replaced, when it was discovered the power windows were not working but the power door locks and the power rear view mirrors are working. The 20a fuse for the power windows was pulled and it passed a continuity test, replaced the fuse any way, but did not help.
Do not know where there could be any relays or fusible links for the air bag or power windows. Everything else on the car is working normally.
Any ideas on what I should do to fix the air bag and power door locks?

Hav eit scanned to see what is wrong with the air bag, a pro will need to do thisthere are a couple of modules that may not be talking to each other or a wiring problem. There is a circuit breaker for the windows and it cold be a switch or broken wires or the circuit breaker may not be putting power through. It's circuit breaker 2 under dash.

I will get it checked out if I can't trouble shoot the problem myself. Haynes repair manual does not show a wiring diagram to locate modules and circuit breakers.

Is there one available so that I can easily locate the modules and breakers?

Thanks for your help so far on this matter.

Why on earth would want to locat e a module? You can't install another one because they are all vin specific to each car. You can't diagnose anything unless you have a scanner that will read them. The circuit breaker for windows is in the first reply.
