Default wire-tuck help

I just finished doing a wire tuck on my ek...and for some odd reason my lights wont cut on....they turn on when i hit the brakes and my signals work...i checked all my fuses there good and my wireing dosent have a misconnection...but i did use the same gage wire on the tuck...the only wires that were spliced were the six wire on the passanger side..anybody knows how i can fix this

did that too....there fine...the only thing im guessing is the i used too thick of a gage wire on the three wire that are real thin and the wire is not letting the current pass cause its absorbing too much...ima try using a smaller size wire and see if that helps..i hope

bigger gauge wire is not the problem, think about the wire like a water tube the bigger it is the more amps it can carry. now it wont draw anymore amps then the device on it needs but with the bigger wire you can add more things to the circut without worrying about melting the wire and starting a fire. Did you check to see if there is voltage at the light. yes a bigger wire does not make resistance it lowers it.
