No power

Just got done swapping in my SR and my problem is that i have no power what so ever. when i go to hook up the battery the positive side heats up very fast and will even smoke which tells me theres a short somewhere or something not hooked up right. on my lower harness i have one unsuse connection that looks like it could be a ground or something. starter is wired, alternator is, and a ground by the strut



wires circled in the blue, Any ideas as to what this is for or other problem areas i should be checking?

your battery cannot do that! it has to be a wiring issue somewhere check grounds and also make sure you dont have the negative hooked up to the starter + goes to starter - goes to a good ground like on the chassis somewhere not the strut like on the frame and if there is rust, paint ect.... grind it off to get the best connection possible
