Default Gauge cluster and radio not working

So I just took the front doors off my 2000 and it's got power so I had to cut the wires and make quick connects. I cut the wires took the doors off, drove it a couple times and all the gauges and my radio were fine. But now of all sudden none of my gauges or radio works. The jeep starts and runs fine but nothing from the gauges

^this... Sounds like a wire shorted out and blew a fuse. Try a new fuse at #17 and #6. If that doesn't work I think fuse #16 under the hood is the constant 12v.

Lol... U do know that there are already quick disconnects inside the kick panel right? From the factory?


Sound like u cut 8 wires at once and blew a fuse/relay somewhere... Or.u splice two different wires together...

But it still worked for a little bit after I cut them...
