Stop in for a cup of coffee

Sooo, yesterday I put rear seats in my Dart. Had to move drivers seat forward max. It is electric, and not wired yet. So I connected the wiring to the new wires I placed for the seat. Connected the ground cable to batt, moved the seat, and a smoke show ensued!! The hot wire, which I did not insulate, grounded out. I pulled the ground off the Batt, removed the short, and everything still worked. BUT the fusable link was fried.

The smoke theory of electronics.... If you let too much smoke out of the wires, it won't work....
