if any on the wires you cut are shorted, it will cut power to the lock relays

or you may have popped the fuse when you cut them

You think getting a new harness and reconecting will solve issue, all fuses are good

Why don't you just splice the wires back together?

X2. Get some butt connectors on put them back together. Its no big deal. Worst case scenario you have to replace some fuses also.

Let this be a lesson. Don't work on your Jeep when you're high.
