My sister has an Oldsmobile Cutless Ciera (used to be mine) where the power lock and power window switches on the driver door stopped working. I found that a number of wires in the wire bundle that goes into the driver's door were broken. Today I tried to splice the wires back together. While I was trying to strip a small orange wire there was a small electrical arc. Now the radio doesn't work, the power locks and windows don't work, and the interior lights don't work. All of the outside lights work, the dash lights work, the power seats work, the backlights on the radio and A/C controls work, and the A/C works.

I checked the fuses and all of them seem to be intact. Where do I go from here?
