This is my last week starting with a no start issue.
My tires ate through my inner fender harness. Long story short, after repairing that, I lost all electronics, the car continued to run, so I was hoping I could least make it home. About two hundred feet later some smoke came threw the vents so I killed the ignition and pulled over, my headlights flashed before the car died and I had to get it towed.
here are some pics of the connector that melted.

It turns out the short it was the red connector by the battery. For future searchers
The car started and ran las night then again this morning. So I put everything back together this morning and it started then died and it would crank, which is more than before.
but then it blew the fuse again and smoke came threw the vents. So I pulled the cd player out to find out that the previous owner wired the power source for the cd player through the ignition switch. Anyway it did this to the wiring harness behind the cd player.

So I Removed and repaired as much of the damaged wires as I found. No more cd player for me. Now it will crank, but it won't run. But no more smoke and no start again. When I crank it smells like I gas and I do have spark. Also, the headlights won't turn on or move, no interior lights, no gauges or dummy lights.
I pulled the code off the ecu 55. No malfunctions in the above circuit. I'm officially stumped. I have power to both of the ignition relay, accessory and fuel pump relay. But no power to anything but the starter it seems.
Okay. The major harness clip in the cabin wasn't attached all the way. So now it will start, and I have headlights and signals, but no gauges or dummy lights or seatbelts. Any ideas where to look?
Cliffnotes: after a short and a bunch of bs Now it will start and I have headlights and turn signals, but no gauges or dummy lights.
