you blew a fuse. check all your fuses one by one. disconnect your neg battery cable in the future before working with lighting/electronics in the car.

check fuses under hood and under steering column.

disconnect the battery, yank out that fuse and put in a fresh one. then see if everything operates accordingly.

you don't need a higher amp fuse.

not a problem, nick.

it's usually a fuse that blows when working with that sort of stuff. always start there in the future.

^cars do some crazy things when you mess with the electrical system. like they just self destruct and things just start acting up...all bc of a stupid little fuse.
