I was putting in trailer lights, and the brake light wire touch the ground wire. Now the brake lights do not work, and the alternator is not working. Does anyone know where the fuses for this might be?

Good morning,

I attached a wiring diagram for both the charging system as well as the stop light for you to view.

Check the fuses for power on both sides to be sure there is power.
