Windows, allow 25 amps per pair.
Poppers, 10-15 amps each.
Fuel pump 10-15.
These sizes should also be on the instructions.
Then, Google wire gauges, that will give you the current capabilities.

Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Thank you . I pulled the electric windows out of a 96 Toyota corola
The shaved door kit is from autoloc 35 to 50 lbs pull
Fuel pump is a Holley
I was told that 12 gauge wire for the shaved door kit
The electric windows in the Toyota looks like 12 gauge also
Thanks again kelly.

Hope it helped, I asked you to Google because naturally the rest of the world doesn't use US wire gauges and I couldn't do the conversion in my head!!
