yes. DMM and using continuity tone, for checking. (so i don't have to look, can i can just listen)

(just for reference, that is the bundle of wires that come out of the front bottom of the fuse block, and travel down under the kick panel. I took that kick panel off and cut the black electrical tape like stuff off of those, and found those wires)
the top are the ones coming out of the fuse block, and after cut, did not have any that shorted.

The bottoms are what are going back into the engine, and 5 were shorted. I also went back and check the primary wire that burned up, and after cut, it no longer was a short.

Those couldn't be the wires that run to lights in the door or on that side, as they are brown, which, according to the haynes reference sheet, are the ones that head up into the fuse block in the engine.

so the next issue is, did it cook a relay?
