VERY wierd wiring question!!! Help!

Ok, here it goes... lol

A while back I removed my doors to be cool basically, and I totally regret doing it.

You have to cut all the door wires and so I did. Then I put some quick disconnects on each of the end of the wires so I could hook them all back up. Ever since then my truck thinks that the d-side door is always 'ajar.'

But for some odd reason, when I unplug the mirror switch, I can keep the d-side door open and it won't say it's ajar and the dome light will not come on unless and of the other 3 doors are open.

I think that I have all the wires connected correctly and I have no clue why it's doing what it's doing. But there are some of the same color wires that run through the door.

I really need some help!

There are 2 yellow/blacks on the driver side. One is for the door ajar sense and the other is for the power mirrors. They could be crossed.
