HELP!!Tried Switching LEDs doing Metals New way!! Help

well heres the story. I recieved the oranges LEDs yesterday and began my LED swapping today. I had the master switch done using Metal Maximas new way o doing them .HERE is the link http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=410671. Well everything was working fine untill it came time to tap into the OEM Harness. I accidently cut the THICK Red wire with white stripe instead of the SKINNY one. So i rewired the thick one and tapped the right one. Everything was going good till i put the switches back with the board then all of a sudden my drivers window doesn't go up or down, My speedometer light doesnt come on and neither does my radio, climate control or fog lights. Now the thing i found weird was the fact that all my other switches on my mater switch worked EXCEPT my Drivers Side one. Any Thoughts PLZ HELP???!!!

make sure that you correctly re attatched the wire that you cut. Double check EVERYTHING!

ok Ive been working on this since 11 am ive checked fuses relays anything i could think of. This still doesn't explain the speedometer the radio lights and the climate control. How about if maybe the live wires touch without me noticing? What might have happened? i already have taken out ALL the fuses even the ones that have nothing to do with it. They are all fine.

Its not fuse #13 i checked em all plus why is it that the map light and courtesy lights come on and not the speedo climate and radio? You think it might be dimmer switch? How about my Driver side window?

Double check the 'thick red wire' perhaps? How'd did you make connections? Crimping, solder...?

I had this happen to me (speedo, radio, courtesy lights not working). It turned out to be a blown fuse under the hood - the fuse box near the driver's side headlight.
