First simple question - have you tried pressing the button next to the electric window switch (the circuit breaker switch) to see if you get it working?

very good idea with the video by the way.

do you own a meter for reading voltage? if you do, conect it to the fat brown wire amd the fat green wire. and make sure you have 12 volts. (if you don't own a meter, you can use a lightbulb)

the big black plug with 2 green wires on it isn't used for anything. the power should be from under the dashboard, not form the cigarette lighter. trace the fat green wire back to the blue relay, you should be getting power from there.

I really hope you manage to sort this quick mate.

Can I ask - what were you doing in the interior when it all went wrong? It may help to know what other compnents you may have moved while down there.

Hopefully
