Okay, take a deep breath.
Everything is probably fine.
I think you did something that we are all guilty of and that is working on electrical without disconnecting the battery.

Here's what I would do.

1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Check to make sure all connectors tight.

Although I'm not sure how but somehow VBatt was applied to the part of the system and that could be because a connector got flipped.

3. Check for the above.
4. reconnect the battery.

Thanks a MILLION for the response, thats what i been thinking all day too that i just need to reset my ecu. so it can reboot and sense the new harness with the foglight additions. gotta wait till i get home from work , hopefully this fixes it.
