ok so the title basically says it all. i was rewiring my license plate light after painting my tire carrier, wired it up and apparently when i taped up the solder joints i didnt cover it all and it shorted when i turned on the parking lights, well i tested the lights by hitting the remote (didnt want to walk around to the front of the car to test the lights) the parking lights didnt go on and when i went and turned them on at the stalk, it blew the under hood fuse for 'tail'

fixed the short, replaced the fuse, parking lights work just fine now, but when i lock or unlock the car, it doesnt activate the parking lights at all.

next week i hope ill have some time to dive under the dash, maybe pull the unit and see if i blew a trace. other than the parking lights, the unit works perfectly. any ideas what i should look for, has this happened to anyone else? thought id ask here before tearing my entire dash apart.
