Electrical Problem with 90 Cherokee

Hey guys, I posted yesterday about a stalling and bucking problem. I
think I have it diagnosed but I think I screwed up the electrical
system. I plugged in the engine light and it must not have been hooked
up right or had a short in it because the wires started to melt. I got
it unsnapped pretty quick, but when I restarted the engine none of my
driving lights would work. The fuses seem ok and it is only the
headlights, brake lights and the parking lights. The flashers still
work and it looks like everything else does as well. What else could I
check? Could some of the fuse boxes in the engine have been burned
out?
I have a Chilton and Haynes Guide and this just happened so I thought I
would throw it out there. I am going to a junkyard tommorow and there
are a few late 80's and early 90's Cherokees.

Do you think I would need to redo the wiring? Would this be expensive
to get fixed?

I just spent a lot of cash and still have the stalling problem and now
this! I am an idiot!

Also I ran the engine without the TPS and the IAS and it still ran, is
that normal?

Thanks and I appreciate any comments,

Tim K
 
You need to check the fusible links, the colored wires on the large post on the starter relay.
