Default No brake lights OR turn signals

Ok all, here's the skinny.....I had to replace my right rear tail light harness and did so with a factory replacement. One thing I didn't do though was disconnect my battery first, shame on me, I know. Anyhow, what I thought was going to be a 10 minute job turned into not having brakelights or turnsignals (front or rear). I checked the usual culprit, blown fuses, etc. and all fuses are now fine (I had to replace 1). I have back up lights and running lights as well as normal headlight function.

Any suggestions on where to look next? I'm totally frustrated as everything worked fine 5 minutes before I started except the one rear running light, which is why I was replacing the harness in the first place.

Please help!

Could be a bad turn signal switch or a bad ground.
