As title says...
I cleaned the battery terminals, cranked her up...ran fine.
Closed the hood and BAM! Electrical pop/crack sound, engine almost immediately died and started smoking from under the hood.
Rushed and cut the keys all the way off and out of the ignition.
Popped hood, couldn't tell where the smoke was coming from, but it appears to be the battery, starter solenoid, coil, ignition box area.
After not seeing anything burnt or melted, tried to crank it again....nothing. It TRIES to crank (sounds like when the fuel system plug is pulled from the trunk and no gas is being sent) but nothing.
The AFM PMS is not powering on at all. It normally powers on with the key in the on position but it is not even lighting up.
Any ideas? I have undone the negative terminal to reset everything and will try to crank again.
I am worried I have fried something or done some serious damage here and need help ASAP!
EDIT: The hood has the insulation in it, so shouldn't be a chance that metal of hood is conducting electricity from say a battery terminal.
