Turn signal problem

Turn signal problem
So I finally managed to fix my bike after my accident in December, and my turn signals came in the mail yesterday. I bought some flushmounts from Hot Bodies, and I spent my morning installing. Before finishing everything up, I checked to make sure that they worked. Everything was fine before I tightened everything up.
I just took my first ride since December, and I notice that my turn signals don't turn on at all. It doesn't even show in the dash. Any help? I'm thinking that I pinched a wire somewhere.. but I can't imagine where.
Oh, and it's a 2005 F4i.
Ninja Edit:
I just found out my brake lights don't work either... scary. Help, please?

So...do you or don't you have a blown fuse?
You need to know if you've got a fuse that's blown. Pop another one in there & see if it pops too. If it does, you've got a wiring problem. A wire may be touching another wire, touching metal, etc. How did you wire them up? Did you just connect & electrical tape them, use proper connectors, or what?
Need more info.
Just tryin' to help.

I've been off at school since I posted, sorry.
I have blown the fuse... I didn't notice earlier, but the horn doesn't work either:P
I'm going to go over everything I did in the morning, and make sure that I didn't mess anything up.. I have a rough idea of where it might have gone wrong though.
Thanks for the help. I picked a horrible time to learn how to do all this...
At the consequence of looking noobish... the fuse is a 10/20 amp one, correct? I can pick those up at any auto parts store?
And an edit:
I just reread what I posted earlier, I'm sorry. It sounds rather rude and unhelpful. I'm sorry if it came across like that.

Yup. I re worked all the wiring and found that a piece of cable broke through the heat wrap. I redid everything, making sure that everything was working just fine until final install. I also replaced the fuse, and everything works just fine.
Thanks a lot for all the help. I can pick up spare fuses at an auto parts store, right?
