blown fuse/relay?

I havent been able to get any answers on the other forums so i thought you guys might bring me up to speed. I was doing some electrical work and had the two wires coming out of the back up lights spliced open. And as i was doing something else i think they touched and when i came back none of the lights worked. So my guess is blown fuse/relay? correct?

Sounds about right, check the owners manual it should show the location of the pesky fuse.

Good to hear it, If your going to do connections the best are soldered and shrink tubed. Crimped can give out on you when you need it the most.

There are some crimp connectors that are real good (electricians use them) but they are spendy and require a crimp tool you cant pick up at Autozone or Knechts.........Best just to follow Kjvs advice and solder/shrink tube it.
