Default Electrical problem..

I've been working on patching my floors recently and had a little accident a little bit ago..

My friend was cutting out a rusty spot near the middle of the jeep on the driver's side and cut a wiring harness. This harness included the fuel pump and power seat wires, among others.

I spliced them all back together and my fuel pump works, but my power locks, seats, all interior dome lights, keyless, and radio do not work. All of my fuses are good and there was no further damage as far as I can tell.

I'm stumped... any ideas?

1992 Cherokee limited 4.0 auto.

Maybe break it all down, sort through and make sure you have all your colors match. All I can think of

its very possible that when you cut through them that it shorted the wire out. Ohm each wire out to ground and see it any of them have ground out.

I believe that year still has multiple fusible links under the hood as well. If the short was substantial, one of those may have opened up.
Is there power to the fuse for your radio, power locks, etc?

I haven't looked at any of the fuses under the hood. I'll start probing with a volt meter tomorrow.. This whole thing is very frustrating. Don't realize how much you like your features until they're gone! What is odd though.. The power windows still work.. Nothing else though.
