HI,
Most likely whatever you broke allowed the wiring or circuits to touch

Ok if those wires caught on fire because there was a faulty connection in the module... Can i replace the wiring harness itself and check my fuses to make sure they arent blown and if they are replace them?? What about the fusable link if it got burnt where would i find it and do i have to replace it to?
