Driver door wont lock .. interuor lights dont work .. driver window swtich dont work .

First of all, decide where the wire has broken from, to be sure you are reconnecting it to the correct place. Then, find a similar gauge of wire, and either a couple of through crimps to fit. At a pinch, you could use simple screw connectors. Joint your short bit of wire, to the end of your red wire, the other end to the other breakage.

If you are unable to manage that - take it to a garage, and pay them to sort it out for you.

..... and if you do manage to reconnect the wire, make sure it and any joints are well insulated from nearby metal.

I watched a YouTube video and this is what is missing its like a round thing that has snapped off how do I sort that out ?

You will probably have to extend the cable a bit. The round connectors can be bought easily. Any good at soldering?

I think there still seems to be enough wire.. how do I attach the connectors please

 

[Koolpc]

Probably soldered on or it has a connector with a screw or crimped:

As a temporary measure, as you are suggesting the cable is long enough - You could simply trap the end of the wire under the nut of the battery clamp. Then later deal with it properly.

I tried that but nothing seemed to change .

The battery in the car key was low I replaced the battery and the car locks properly now just need to sort interior lights out and driver door switch

Driver door switch and interior light are most probably connected. If it only happened since battery change then the clue is that it is related.

Check around the battery area for other wires that may be missing or broken

Fuse gone when the wire broke?
