I need help

[laking310]

Ok so it's a long story
I decided cut the fender on my bike and i was looking to put cool turn signals. so after looking around i decided to put the led strip on the back of my bike like the Ducati from the movie tron. I talked to baylock1988 and he told me how to put the led strip together and he told me I would have to sawter the wires onto the strip. (I was like how hard could that be even though I've never sawter end anything before in my life) to when I thought I was finished with the strip I tested the light before making it perminate just to find out that 2 of the wires where touching from my horrible sawtering job and the light worked for one second and never turned back on. I thought it might of just blown the led strip so I tried putting the stock rear turn signals lights and found that neither those or the running light work now. I tried to trouble shoot by checking the light fuse but it wasn't blown and all the other lights work on the bike to include the brake light. I also tried changing the turning light relay to and led relay and that didn't work either... I and completely dumb found and have no idea what is wrong....please someone help me

1. its SOLDER

ok now thats out of the way.

if two of the wires were touching you probably blew a fuse or burned up a wire. the only way to blow the led is if you bought led's for a 5v supply and hooked it to a 12v. if you hooked them up backwards they would have never lit up in the first place.

if two wires touched I'm sure you blew a fuse somewhere, did you check all the fuses? or just one? (including your main fuse!) also check all your relays

Excuse me I've had a long day...solder...

I checked all the fuses in the fuse box... I don't know how to check the relays.
