Half of my lights went out

[EastxBound]

What's up guys -

I just bought a 1990 Toyota Winnebago and have been working on it daily. Currently, I am replacing the standard light fixtures with LEDs. I was replacing the first fixture and started stripping the two wires to connect to the new LED fixture and as I stripped the second wire, half of the lights went out on one side of the rig while the other stayed on. I now realize that stripping wires with all of the power on was not a good idea..The air vent fan doesn't work either. The RV has a 250 watt solar system attached to it. I checked the wiring with a probe and all of the wiring and devices that are not on (lights, air vent fan) have power coming into them, so they are hot. Any advice on how to get the power back on and what the issue could be? Thanks in advance.

See if you have hot on both sides of one of the lights that is NOT working. Be sure the switch is on of course. IF you have hot on both sides of the light your ground is missing.

Back track when they went out.

It ended up being a blown fuse. Went ahead and replaced the five fuses the rig is equipped with and the lights turned back on. Thanks for the help.
