Default Power door lock help

My power door locks didn't work, so I replaced the harness and switch on both sides. Now the drivers side switch locks and unlocks the drivers side only, and the passenger side switch blows a fuse. I think I'm gonna pull the dash, so does anyone have any tips or advice?

Also, in the passenger side door, there are these four green wires, two of them go into a plug that isn't plugged into anything and the other two don't go anywhere

Sport Mirrors? Anti-Theft Control Switch?

Wires to the door lock should be Gray and Tan. Wires to the Power Window Motor should be light blue and tan.

I've been working on installing power door lock actuators lately. Never seen green wires inside the door. Check colors against your wiring schematic. Someone could have replaced original wires in the past. While wiring my locks, I must have had a wire touching metal thus creating a short because I blew the fuse and almost melted my tach circuit board....thing started smoking. My first thought is before you pull the dash check wiring for torn or missing insulation. Are the green wires that are not connected covered at the ends so they can't touch anything?
