Default Electrical problems

Hi all, hope to get some help. 1st thing first I messed up! with a light tester I wanted to see if there was power coming in where there is a quick connect for adapting additional lighting to the front. Well there are thre wires and the first on I tested it gave me a spark and I saw that my instruments ( trip meter only ) went blank also my directionals. brake light. But it did start so I left it alone until today When I went to start nothing happened no clicks. I have power to the parking lights only also no horn. Now I check my fuses ( 15 amp) and everthing seems fine and the 40 amp also. Now when I disconnect my starter relay and plug it back in its making a clicking sound but my brake relay no sound at all. Any Ideas before I take it in the shop. Thanks Pete

Test both sides of the fuses with a test light and ignition on. I've see a few that were blown but looked oK.
