Recheck to see if you blew any fuses. Also, check to see if there is power to the original wire to the lic light.

all fuses are good. no power to lic. plate light or passenger tail light, rear hatch lock continues to repeatedly click very quick if not disconnected. the lic. plt wiring runs directly to the lock motor power cord and even with the lock plugged in i still have nothing. even with everything connected as it was originally i have nothing to the lights i spoke of
