Default 2006 A3 wont start after shorting a wire

Hello my appologies if this problem has already been answered. Here is what happened. I had no power to the drivers side door. I removed the boot in the door jamb and discovered 2 broken wires 1 brown the other was multicolored both the same guage. While trying to fish them out to repair one or the other touched metal and arced. Finished the repair with heatshrink and now there is no power to the interior except the radio and it wont start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

And If u pull a fuse, can u measure voltage on one pin? Are the fuses getting 12 volts?

If u use vcds, try and determine wich module contains all the items NOT working, and see What happens If u try to login this module.

if this particulair module is getting power and is switched on, but the items hanging on to it are not working, u should swap it for a new or used on. Or open it and search for a glass fuse.
