Check the fuel relay in the trunk. Should be drivers side behind the lining. Might need to reset, or replaced. Hopefully that's it. If not, then it's a short in the power line to the back.
===========================================================
Actually , that is the fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) that is located in the trunk ( I don't know where the fuel pump relay is located on a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria
It shows in the owners manual that there is a 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump relay in the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) located in the engine compartment near the battery ( but of course you state the fuse is good )
In a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria : The fuse box is to the left and below the steering wheel , by the brake pedal ( it has a cover on it ) and the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) is located in the engine compartment You can view the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria owners manual online at : www . motorcraft service . com ( no spaces ) Click on Owner Guides ( the fuses and relays section starts on page 147 , it has the diagrams and lists )
look for obvious problems first like the fuses. then test if there's power going to the motors that open and close the windows. if there's no power its a short in the circuit. if theres power, try testing the motors with an alternate power supply to check if they are working. but they shouldn't all brake down at the same time.
According to the 2000 Ford Crown Victoria Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid )
if a dodge neon would race a crown Victoria the neon would start of faster but after a while the power of a v8 engine the neon will get left behind the crown Victoria has great acceleration

right next to the engine
Ford has never produced a Crown Victoria with a V6 engine. In 1985 Ford installed the 255 V8 and 302 V8 engines. The V6 engine wouldn't produce enough horse power for the heavy Crown Victoria.
The newer Crown Vics have anti-lock brakes and air bags and much better power and handling than the 1980s models, so the answer is NO, they are not safer.
Start with checking the power right at the blower. Is there?
