Joel, grab one of the cheap 12 v tester pens at your local auto parts store, ground the clip part to a known ground (test it to be sure by touching the pen part to the + battery terminal) then touch it to your positive wire. It should light up. If not, your + wire is at fault.
If that tests OK, clip the negative clip on the pen to your "ground" wire and touch the pen part to your + battery teminal. If it does not light up, then your ground is defective. Should be about 5 bucks for the pen, a great investment for later projects like trailer lights. good luck, m
