Default lights question

ok so i was trying to figure the problem with my reverse lights earlier during the day and i replaced the bulbs. that didnt work. so i think i might have bumped some wiring or something while doing so. so now front corner lights dont work, my dash lights dont work, my taillights dont work. but my headlights/brights work and my turn signals work. my hazards dont work.

could this be a fuse? or could it be a short somewhere or what?

I'm not sure where the fuse is but it's most likely the reverse sensor. It's a tall sensor on the top of the tranny (I'm assuming it's a manual). Those tend to go bad sometimes and when they do your reverse lights won't work - it's most likely the problem.

well yeah, that was originally the problem. but of course being the noob i am, i think i might of pulled a wire somewhere. could one wire cause half my electrical/lights not to work. (they were working before i replaced the bulbs)

Any wire puled from the harness could cause the light to not work.

There should only be 2 wires, a power from the switch, and a ground.

Just check and make sure everything is where it is supposed to be.
