"I'm going to take a wild guess that the fusible link for the charging circuit has melted, effectively opening that circuit, and could be the source of burning smell, As suggested by C5 diag, you need to check the circuits (wires) with a meter."

#

This seems the most likely

true lintel
#

fantastic did you check the fusable link as the suggested

frigid cave
#

At this point I'm certain that it shorted out

true lintel
#

yeah just check continuity with a multimeter through the link

frigid cave
#

It's because when I reconnected my starter

true lintel
#

if the ohm reading is less than roundabouts 3 ohms you should be good

frigid cave
#

the ground wire was loose

#

That's gotta be it

true lintel
#

frigid cave
#
