no offense dude.. but if you manage to make your wires catch on fire, I dont think you should attempt to fix this problem.

Sounds like you are not old enough to manage a car yet. Older cars need more attention and money.

heh, heh, these cars aren't the plug and play of the newer cars. With the higher mileage they are more like the plug and pray version... Exagerated of course but you guys know what I mean.

You burned through a fusible link. The fusible link exists to protect your cars computer from ham fisted mechanics killing it. Be thankful it was there. I bet you used the wrong battery or put it in backwards.

You will need a new fusible link. Go see the Nissan dealer for that one. Then find someone knowledgable to help you install everything. If you did put your battery in backwards, you probably toasted your alternator.
