Red face Did I just fry my flasher relay?

Hi all...this is my first post to this forum, but likely wont be my last .
I just bought a small utility trailer (4'x5') to use for camping and such - already had a hitch installed for a bike rack, but I need to install a trailer wiring harness. In attempting to save some cash by doing this myself, I think I may have fried my flasher relay. Here's what happened...
On the rear-light circuit board (the board with the reverse lamp and turn indicator lamp mounted) there are what appear to be 2 male spade connector receptacles next to each of the lamps - I figured this would be perfect for wiring up the harness. To be sure these connectors were wired into the lamps, I got out my circuit tester - I first tried the spade connectors next to the reverse lamp, bingo - worked as I thought. Next I tried spade connector next to the turn signal, and this is where things went sideways...I must have been a tad careless with the tester probe tip and shorted the circuit (there was a faint spark). After that the turns signals / hazards don't work at all, no clicking from the relay, no indicators on the dash, nothin'. I've checked all the fuses, and they're all good...so the only thing I can think of is that the flasher relay itself is blown. Anybody have thoughts on this?
Thanks for reading!
Jon
