Default Window wiring

So when I went doorless on my 88 Laredo 2 door I cut the wires out of the door for the window lock and door locks as they don't work. Now when I reconnect my door wiring the windows won't work. Did I mess something up ?

Did you connect the wires right?

Why did you cut them? Why didn't you just unplug the harness?

I cut them because I wanted them out of the door so I didn't have so many connectors to connect when removing the doors. And there's only like 5 wires left and there all different colors

If I had to guess I'd say that the bare wires flopping around in the Jeep touched something and popped a fuse.

I'll check fuses but the wires that have been decommissioned have been individually taped up with vinyl tape and then cloth taped and tucked back the bullet connectors I used are female with shields on them and tape to avoid any shorting.
