Aight so I screwed up. I decided I was gonna bob my vtx 1300
I cut the back fender with a grinder (this is my first bike, my learner bike), unaware that the wires to the tail light were inside of a chanel in the back fender. So when I cut the fender, I cut all the wires to tail light. I got a flexible LED light that has an adhesive to stick to the fender with green, red, black, white, and yellow wires. I cut off all the messed up wires and stripped them and got ready to wire this thing up and be done with it, but with the bike running, I've touched every wire from the new light to the tail light wires that attach to the wiring harness and no lights came on. I grabbed every wire from the harness and grounded myself as well to see if I got shocked and I didn't get shocked. So in my head, I'm thinking I'm not getting power.
Can anyone give me an idea of how badly I may have screwed this thing up and how to fix it? I don't know where to look past the wiring harness. There's no disconnect on the wiring harness, it's hard wired.
