dashlights and right front and right rear lights

[lcgtrplr]

i just lost the right front parking light and all i have is bare wires. I put a test light on the wires and can make the test light blink but have no power to the back right tail light and the right front parking light.

Does a circuit have to be completed to make this work? Also my dash light went out at the same time. I might have touched 2 wires together but all of the fuses seem fine.

Thanks for any help
