took some pictures so can you check I've done this right? I tried connecting up the instrument cluster and the clock ticks away when the keys are removed but when I turn the key part way no dash lights come on, and when I try turning it all the way to start the engine there's a spark and a bit of smoke off the negative battery terminal (bit greasy), and a sort of short clicking sound from either the battery or possibly the starter motor?
