In the 2001 Mercury Sable, the fuses and relays are located in two primary fuse boxes: one inside the passenger compartment and another in the engine compartment. Here's where you can find them:

Interior Fuse Box: The interior fuse box is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side. To access it, open the driver's side door and look for a panel on the side of the dashboard. Remove the cover to reveal the fuse box. Inside the cover, you'll find a diagram showing the location and function of each fuse.

Engine Compartment Fuse Box: The engine compartment fuse box is typically located near the battery or on one of the fender wells. It's enclosed in a plastic box with a removable lid. Open the lid to access the fuses and relays inside.

To identify the specific fuses and relays related to the windows, inside lights, and sunroof, refer to the fuse box covers or the owner's manual. The diagrams should indicate which fuses and relays control these components.

If someone started removing fuses and relays without knowing their purpose, it's possible that a critical fuse or relay was pulled, leading to the loss of power for the windows, inside lights, and sunroof. In this case, you'll need to check each fuse and relay one by one to ensure they are all in place and not blown. Replace any blown fuses with new ones of the correct rating.
