when you cut the green wire did you rehook it up to the other piece of green wire, or did you only wire it to the new side marker? you should have just spliced the wire and made the connection, not cut it.

You blew a fuse. Done that plenty of times - you can't short out the lights or else that's what happens. But all is not loss, just change the fuse - it's under the dash and there are a couple of extra ones in there as well as a fuse puller. Or it might be in the fuse box in the engine compartment - can't remember.

You're welcome - and that would definately short out the circuit (basically no load).
