Running board lights won't come on

[Bertbon]

I bottomed out in a mud hole and broke my running board light wire close to the plug in the driver side. There was enough room to reconnect it but it didn't come back on after I did. I think I've checked all the fuses but not sure which one is the exact one. Nothing else seems to be affected by this but both of my running boards. Any help would be appreciated, even a double check of what fuse is which. Thanks!

Also I'm looking at a set of 35×17" tires and wondering if they will clear without having to cut wheel well

Power Distribution Box located under hood. Running board lamp 10 amp Fuse #15.

Those tires will not fit without modification from stock. About the biggest you can go with a 17" wheel on a 4WD without modification is a 265/75R17 or a 285/70R17.
