Electrical HELP for 96 T4R Please?

[Vxc961]

OK, so the plastic covering the lower portion (near the door) of the right seat came off, as I was trying to put it back on, electrical smoke started coming out from under the seat.

I reached over and turned on the truck (the wires smoked with no key in ignition) to roll the windows down, then tried to undo the harness where I could see it.

I wasn't able to undo the plug-in connector, and the brown wire is fried, and the insulation running under the seat is melted.

The truck starts fine, but the windows won't roll down, AND it won't shift out of park. I tried to find a wiring diagram, but it looks they've been taken down.

I got a ride back home to feed the kids and get them bed, then I'll head over and see if I can fix it or just get it towed.

Anybody have any quick fixes for defeating the PARK-lock issue?

Then, obviously, any idea what circuit the windows are on? I pulled a few fuses, and they all looked good, but were very general like "accessory" or something.

Thanks in advance!

If your brake light fuse is blown it wont let you shift out of park. You will have to push the shift lock button on the shifter. I would also make sure you have working brake lights at this point

Uggh--I'd forgotten all about the shift-lock button! That would have at least gotten me home! Thanks!

Not the best pics, but while I saw the burning wires under the seat, it looks like the most upstream portion was under the carpet by the door. The one on the right just shows where that portion plugs in; I couldn't see much, but the wires looked fine upstream of the plug.

Really weird the fuse didn't blow--in fact, I haven't even had time to figure out which ckt pwr windows, pwr locks, brake lights, and gauge lights are on.

Any advice? I think I'll just try to replace the portion of the harness that plugs in by the ECU(?) on the front right kick panel, replace the fuse (which I assume has blown now), and then be on my way? Best way to ID what portion of the harness I need? Best place to buy it?

Thanks!
