The power window and fuel pump wiring run alongside under the carpet, next to the driver side door. Not for long, just a foot or so. One possible explanation is that a screw went through the wires and shorted them together.

I'd pull the driver side door sil plate, lift the carpet by the seat and check out the wire bundles.

another place that you might check is the block switch below the brake booster on the fire wall have had false shorts in that block on mine.
