I don't know the answer to your question but it would be wise to obtain a wiring diagram so you can see the function of the wires you joined together and can have a more educated guess as to the source of the popping.

If you've applied 12VDC to the solenoid and it does nothing, not even click, then the solenoid is toast!

SOURCE: 1991 Jeep Cherokee Limited starts, runs a few minutes then dies

Running for five minutes sounds like something other than a security system problem (usually shuts off much earlier) but if that has been compromised it needs to be put back together or the trigger wire from the drivers door lock needs to be grounded.
I'd look to the throttle position sensor, map sensor, crank position sensor or the ballast resistor on the drivers fender. You need to do tests on those items as all influence the fuel management system after warm up. Test when it is cold and after it shuts off so you don't mistake a part malfunction only when hot. Hands on testing is the ONLY way to determine accurately exactly what is happening there. Anything else is an educated guess!!!

1991 harley davidson sportster right side flasher not working but running light works ???

It has a two way bulb. Try replacing the bulb first. If this doesnt fix it, you may have a corroded wire inside the light bezel. I had a similar problem on a Sporty and had to take the light apart and clean the connections with a small wire brush. But its usually just the bulb.
