Electrical bug

Sorry this has to be my first post, but I've got an problem with the lights and hopefully someone has a tip.

2003 G35 Coupe.

Anyway, what I was doing was using my ohmmeter looking for a switched power source in the back of the car. I disconnected the electrical connector running to the drivers side tail light, had 5 wires, pretty thin, didn't figure one would work but I tried it anyway. I was using the probe to see if one of the wires was a switched source and I figure I touched two contacts together with the end of the probe as they are very small and it's pretty easy to do. Anyone remember "Operation".

Put it all back together and now I don't have parking lights or courtesy lights on the climate controls or radio, but everything else works fine.

I figure I blew a fuse or need to reset a relay somewhere but I've looked at the fuse box near the battery and the one on the drivers side kick panel and can't find any blown. Does anyone have any idea where the fuse/relay for the parking lights is at? I figure it's one circuit that I shorted out. Thanks if you can help.

did you check the fuses in the engine bay yet...also try unplugging the battery over night with the windows down a crack or doors open so you dont damage the glass

I would carefully check the fuses I would bet money you just blew one of them.
