That's now how wiring diagrams are arranged. See this post on how they're arranged and how to get the one you want. http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/get-car-wiring-diagram/

Check your owners manual for the location of the light fuse and check it, if that's not the issue pick up a replacement lighter at your local parts store and it's a simple install, just unplug the old one and plug the new one in once it's mounted in your ashtray or wherever it may be. A simple fix, no Worries!

Sounds like your IAC (Idle Air Control) valve may not be functioning properly, although not at all related to a battery change. Are you getting a check engine light? If yes, then take it to any auto-parts store for a free scan to determine any fault.

Have you driven thru any big snow piles/drifts/berms or deep mud etc? It sounds like your ABS sensor is/was damaged. Get the EXACT code and reply. Cheers, Td

WHEEL BEARINGS?

yes most people change boots at a 100000 miles , use ohms tester to check it should read 0.00

Have you tried charging or replacing the battery? If the battery is fully charged you may have a dead cell in the spark plug.

reduced power , electronic throttle control problem . Reduced Engine Power Mode When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions: • Acceleration limiting--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited. • Limited throttle mode--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited. • Throttle default mode--The ECM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position. • Forced idle mode--The ECM will perform the following actions: - Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off. - Ignore the accelerator pedal input. • Engine shutdown mode--The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

If your smelling wires that is a sign of a poor ground or wires touching somthing like exhaust.could be the fusible link. Where is the spark you are seeing? And what do you mean the starter and alternator look good? They have to be tested !

Take it to a qualified repair shop , Thinking ??? Also was thinking the MAF sensor or Intake Air sensor might be faulty . TESTING IS THE WAY TO A PROPER FIX !!!!!

possible but i have no idea how to reset it sorry ,look in handbook or do what i do and thats get one of the grandkids to do it

Look at tube from air cleaner filter back to the engine ,make sure there are no splits in the intake tube , air getting past the mass air sensor sends bad signals to the ecm.
