There are very complex electronics on your vehicle , you people have no ideal what all is involved in starting your vehicle .It's all computer controlled , the PCM - engine computer has to see electrical inputs from different thing's before it will energize the starter crank relay located in the under hood fuse box .
Circuit Description
Moving the ignition switch to the start position sends a 12 volt signal through the PCM (CRANK) fuse in the Junction Block - Left I/P to the PCM to notify the PCM that a crank status has been requested. 12 volts is fed through the ABS/PCM fuse in the Junction Block - Left I/P to the coil side of the CRANK RLY . The PCM grounds this circuit when all parameters are met for starting the engine. This closes the CRANK RLY allowing Battery Positive voltage through Fusible Link and through the switch side of the CRANK relay to the S terminal of the starter solenoid. Ground is found through the engine block.
The PCM has to see correct enable message from the theft- deterrent module an it also has to see a voltage signal through the transmission range sensor , this shows that the vehicle is in park or neutral . Video's on youtube testing relay's . VEHICLE RELAYS Testing from the relay base Jumping pin's 87 & 30 will crank the engine . 85 & 86 are the control side .

Turn the ignition switch to the START position.
Does the engine crank?
YES - Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
NO - Go to Step 3
3
Install a scan tool.
With a scan tool, observe the Security Lamp State parameter in the BCM Security Data list.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position.
Does the scan tool display On?
YES - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
NO -- Go to Step 4
4
With a scan tool, observe the Starter Relay Command parameter in the PCM data list.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position.
Does the scan tool display Yes?
YES - Go to Step 5
NO - Go to Step 13
5
With a scan tool, observe the Crank Request parameter in the PCM data list.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position.
Does the scan tool display Yes?
YES - Go to Step 21
NO - Go to Step 6
There are very specific step's to diagnosing problems like this an if you don't follow them you may never find the problem . You don't need a expensive scan tool to fix it but having one would make it a whole lot easier .
It could be many things but I would start by taking off the starter and taking it to auto zone to have it tested. Also u may have burnt the wire that runs from the starter to the battery replace it. See if that solves your problem
First, check to see if your ABS and your TCS fuses are good. A lot of times, if both lights come on, it senses a failure in the braking system. Your vehicle will disable the abs if it finds a problem in the braking system, hence the red brake light/hand brake light coming on in the dash. Get a code scanner that also reads the abs module. You could have a bad wheel sensor, which is tied to your TCS and your ABS system. Either that, or you ABS module could be bad.
Diagnosing something from a description is far from an exact science, but this is what it sounds like to me may have happened. If your battery was not tie down it could have gotten against something hot or moving (like a pulley), or what ever was rattling may have created a spark somehow and caused the battery to exploded, either way the battery fluid spashing onto hot metal could explain the cloud of white smoke, as you did not mention seeing any flames.
yes it will burn out again the wiring from the switch to the headlight module has a short use a voltmeter to trace it and replace wiring then put in the relay
Sounds like your water pump is out or siezed momentarily. This would cause your alternator to not charge your battery (hence battery light) and also would explain the water. The smoke would have been caused by the friction from the belt. Does the car still run?
first thing is to check your oil these cars are notorious for having engines that burn oil. the battery and brake light problem i had to take it to the dealer and they wound up relearning the computer i cant remember what exactly they did but it worked. I wound up replacing the engine ran about 3500 dollars. Mine is a v4 and runs like a cream puff I hope its not an engine swap
