why did the wiring "smoke" when you reconnected the battery?? did you cure that problem?? if so, check all fuses, wiring harness for burn throughs, melted wiring, blown bulbs.....hope this helps a bit...

Disconnect what you changed, go back to stock and check it out, or re verify your installation, something is hooked up wrong or grounding.

Sorry! Hotroadking, But if Bikergurl000 saw much smoke there is no going back.

Depends on what you let the smoke out of LOL

Might be wiring that is fried, could be something else.

Check fuses, see if something is blown, make sure things are grounded that should be and not grounded if it's not supposed to be.

One thing at a time, get a meter check the circuit.
