12 volt light issue

In preparation for my solar installation I've pulled a back panel out of my basement and pulled the 120v panel and the 12v panel out to review how things are hooked up. I've unhooked nothing in either of these two panels. My issue is the two 12v lights in the basement. I cut the wires to these lights in order to remove the panel they were attached to. Smart guy like me decided to crimp quick connect terminals on in case I ever had to remove the panel again. Now the lights don't work. I've removed the crimped terminals and wired direct with wire nuts and nothing. I've validated that the lights work by hooking them direct to a 12v motorcycle battery, they work fine this way. I've validated voltage at the camper wires that hook to the lights at 11.95 volts. The motorcycle battery I hooked them to was at 9.95 and light the lights fine. However, for some reason the lights will not come on when hooked back up to the original camper wires.

Suggestions?
