Go back and check the Mexican-ass job of wiring that u did. Check that you spliced the correct wires together, pay careful attention to the wire's secondary color (usually a dash, line, or dot on the wire's sheath). Make sure that you didn't connect a black wire with green dots, to a black wire with green dashes (for example).

I'm almost positive that you twisted the wires back together. Even if the wires are connected together, they may not be able to carry the full current that travels through them. Find a friend with a soldering iron, and comondeer it with a friendly home invasion.

You need to slap yourself for using electrical tape, and buy some wire shrink wrap from Wal-mart. It's in the automotive section.
