New development. After eyeballing everything, I hooked up all the fixtures other than the inner panel, speaker, and airbag. I powered up and watched for smoking. All was good. Windows worked, car started, windows dropped with handle lifted...no smoke. I started the jiggle and sniff test. Got to the door latch and as soon as I got near the wires everything went nuts. Thought I had bad harness but pulled the latch out and sat it in my lap. Found twisting the connector created all kinds of craziness. Pulling on the wires didn't create the issue. Checked the Female connector and was going to pull the pins but didn't have the right tools to re-seat them.
I'm going to order a new door latch. I'm open to any more ideas. I'm not sure I've found the issue...still don't see where the smoke came from. I did look at the window motor but didn't see any "smoking" gun there.
I also hope this helps others...
