Default trailer wiring harness wired to taillights??
Ok I was rear-ended a few days ago and the trailer wiring harness was cut off. Now my taillights don't work........would that cause them not to work?

the trailer harness just sort of forms a Y in the harness so i guess it depends on where you cut it at.. or it could have grounded it out and popped a fuse

it cut it about 2-3 inches from the end. Everytime I replace fuse it blows.
