I have the door ajar sensor problem. So to fix it. I cut the wrong wire and ground it which caused a spark. Reconnected the wire. Now my driver power window will not work. Green purple wire.

Check fuse 32 (15A) in the body control module.

I did almost exactly the same thing. I shorted the wrong wire to ground trying to fix the door ajar issue. Which caused the driver side power window to stop working. I checked fuse #1 in the BCM and it was fine. Based on Steve W's suggestion, I checked fuse #32, and it was blown. I changed the fuse and the power window works again! As a side note, I did find the right green/violet stripe wire that goes to the driver door ajar sensor. There are two green wires with a stripe in the wire bundle behind the removable panel that runs along the floor by the driver door. As I recall the correct wire for the door ajar sensor is slightly thinner.
