I had the head unit stolen out of the car, they cut the wires to get it out. Now my windows won't go up or down. I assume they cut a wire that controls the windows, but which one, what color?

First check your fuses.

Then check the wiring to the window relay. There are 4 wires:

Black/yellow
Brown
Red
Blue/red

Yes, the power window relay is right in the vicinity of that criminal activity - clipped to the left side of the hvac box. You'll probably find a radio relay clipped next to it.
