Please help ! tail light won't turn off and brake lights wont work!

I just changed a fuse that is a 5 and a 15 and a 3 i did this because my rpm gauge and fuel and battery and temp gauge wasn't working but the mph was working so i thought this would help the problem but as soon as i changed out those fuses my rpm gauge flipped all the way to the right when i turned the car on and my fuel gauge went to half and the others were still messed up and my tail lights wouldn't turn off when i'd turn off the car and the car ... i'm not sure what to do ... because i checked the fuses again and the 5 and 3 were still messed up ... i used the tool that lights up ... the one to check the fuses .. i even used the tool to touch the wire from in back of the fuse box but my tool didn't light up so it's like i'm not even getting current through the wires ... i don't now what to do .. i don't know what i did wrong .. is there another fuse box i didn't check ... i don't know what to do please help. thank you. and the wire you see is the way the guy i bought the car from connected the radiator cooling fan

Tell The Tail

OK we’ll tackle the taillights won’t turn off first so it won’t drain the battery.

Make sure the lightswitch is in the off position.

Using a small bulb or voltmeter probe the
brown wire at the headlight switch.

Is there power there?


Happy Racing !
