Cant Open Door at all

I had a problem with my visor breaking and falling down where i could hardly see on my way to work this morning.

When i got to work, i kind of got mad and decided to just take the visor off.

The visor has wiring which operates the light on the mirror.

I ripped the wiring from the visor and was going to get the minor issue fixed on my lunch break.

well as soon as i took visor off and tried to lock w my remote key i realized it didnt lock. then i opened car door and tried to hit the lock all buttn and it didnt lock.

so i dumbly locked the doors by hand and closed it.

i went to my car to get something and realized i can no longer open the door w the remote key or physically putting car in slot n turning.

i guess i did something to the car electrical system and i have no way of getting in the car

I need suggestions on how i can get in the key!!
Thanks

when you rip the wires out you probably short something and burned the room fuse ?

your keyless entry card has a key inside you just pull it out and you can open the driver side door.

That was the drivers door. He never mentioned trying the passenger door with a key.
