I was removing an aftermarket rear view mirror that the last owner just shot a couple self tappers in to the headboard. While removing, it must have caught a wire and burned up. See pics. Now I don’t have power door locks. I traced the wire and the end was just abandoned in the headboard. Didn’t seen to connect to anything. Any ideas why my door locks have no power? They were working before this happened. Power windows all still work. Below are pics of the connector at the end, the wire and where it was coming out above the passenger visor area.

That looks like a lighted visor connector.
And if it is cause it is a one wire one guessing your Jeep is not older then '99.
Have you started the Jeep yet?
Do the gauges work?

1995. The Jeep runs, everything else seems to work fine including power windows and all gauges. I removed the visor when I removed the headliner and it doesn't have a light. That would explain the abandoned connector. Still confusing how it's affecting the door locks though. I pulled the fuse under the driver side dash for the door lock and it's not blown. Put a new one in anyway and it still doesn't work.

I just realized a mistake in my post. Meant to say cause it is a one wire connector that it is '99 or older.
In my '00 I was messing around up there and blew a fuse. The Jeep would start but none of the gauges worked.
Can't remember what fuse I replaced though.
One thing I was unaware of was if it took my power locks with it.
That is why I asked.

Seeing how your Jeep is a '95 I am guessing they came with lighted visors cause you do have the connector.
So if it were me I would find the fuse, assuming there is one in the slot, that would run them if you had them.

Other then that I am at a loss.

IOD fuse in the underhood PDC will control this. Fuse 16.

Just to add, this fuse is a 20A.

It is also possible that it is Fuse 9 10A in the interior fuse board, both of these fuses are part of the mirror lamps (pink wire you pictured) and door lock circuits.

If you don't plan on connecting that pink wire back up, make sure you properly insulate it.
