Default Wires in passenger front door

I'm adding quick disconnects to the wires in the doors on my 2000 XJ. I found a blue wire in the bundle that splits into two wire. I think it connects to the power locks. I'm not sure where this wire goes. Does anybody know where the splits go to?

Currently everything works but the locks. On the whole vehicle. They all worked perfectly prior to me cutting the wires.

Thanks

I think you answered your own question. "They all worked perfectly prior to me cutting the wires."

Funny! I wish I would have paid more attention to where I was cutting but after removing the door, that's when I found the blue wire split into two wires. I also cut right on the bare part of the wire.
So I can't tell where it connected to.

Did the 2000 xj have an option for heated mirrors?

Yeah, nice work Zombie! What's the little connector for that is laying on the inside of the door for? It's on both driver and passenger sides.

Not exactly sure on the way you worded that question but on the bottom of my doors the wire running down there was for the power locks?

What did you do to turn off the interior lights when the doors are off?
