It is possible that a fuse is blown. Use the trucks owners manual to find the fuses related to the tow package wiring since it sounds like that might have been what you were plugging or splicing into. There is likely a fuse and/or relay or more than one related to the tow package circuits that you can check.

Or if you have a meter or circuit tester such as # PTW2993 you can test the connector or wires you were tapping into while someone sits in the truck and runs through the lighting functions. If everything works and there are no blown fuses/relays, then it is probable that the light bar has shorted out.
