When the backup light switch fails on a 5-speed car, it sometimes grounds the 12V circuit that also controls the windows. An easy way to check is to put the car in neutral, plug in a new fuse, and start the car. If the rear windows work, put the car in reverse. If the fuse pops, you've located the problem.
This happened to me once and it took quite a while to figure it out. The backup light switch is on the wheel side of the transmission underneath the battery. It is difficult (but not impossible) to get out from the front of the car. However, if you remove the front wheel liner the switch is a snap to remove.
