Electrical problems after rewiring foglights

Today me and a friend rewired his foglights on his 2K max. Well now his power doorlocks and trunk release arent working? Any ideas? Need help asap.

If my memory serves me it is the orange wire on the 2000-01 and the blue silver on the 02-03. Could you have gone wrong there? If that is ok then igor911 post is the way to go. It is sometimes hard to see a blown fuse. A real bright light helps, and you cant beat a continuity tester or ohm meter.
It kinda makes sense that those things could go together on one circuit

I forgot to ad--- because solenoids of this type are a fairly high draw, it is probably a relayed circuit. Could you have knocked loose one of those, or taken one out and not installed it properly?
