First you install the battery and before even turning the key, the wire attached to the fusible link fails. (Not the one with the ? mark.)
You replace the failed wire with the red wire the arrows are pointing to. When the key was turned to start, the starter turns over but it won't start. The lights do work. Then maybe you put it in run and jump the starter while checking for spark from coil wire to ground?
During this testing, you notice smoke and find the battery and alternator feeds have burned.
Since the battery is in the trunk, it took a moment for me to realize there was a smoke show coming from the front of the car.
I thought it was the single wire from the starter relay as indicated. Once I replaced that wire from the starter relay, there was no more smoke but no spark.
