All of a sudden the windows aren't working

Recently my passenger side window stopped dropping down to allow the door to open/close, so I ordered a new micro switch. This weekend I removed the door panel to install it, only to realize I didnt have the right tool to remove the latch assembly...its called a triple square?

So I just reassembled my door panel and will pick up the tool to complete the job. But now all of a sudden neither of the window switches work... I'm wondering if a fuse blew out, havent checked yet. Has this happened to anyone else though? Wonder if its a coincidence that this happened after door panel removal or not. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Connor

There's a dyi out there, I try to find it.
But are you sure it's not the door latch mechanism that failed?
If you pull the door handle just slightly and you hear the micro switch clicking, chances are its the door latch mechanism.
I had this same problem.

I bumped my old post to help you out.
Plus it has the links to remove your door panel. Good luck.
