Hello all, long time lurker. 1st post.
Long story short, I decided to install a push button start in my 91 XJ.
I followed the advice in this thread from another 91 XJ owner.

I wired mine up the exact way as this guy.
1st time I used it, I flipped the toggle switch. All the electronics came on, fuel pump as well.
Then I hit the starter button. And nothing happened. I hit it a couple more times and then noticed an electrical smell.
I got out and saw smoke coming from the engine bay, drivers side fire wall, just behind the washer fluid bottle. Immediately disconnected the battery and tried to figure out what happened. But I am at a loss.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
