Just replaced my right fender and added a new bumper now im having a issue some how all I did was removed the battery to screw in the bumper underneath.
Car does not start. My cluster lights up all the warning lights when the key is not even in the ignition and when I turn the key to ignite it doesn't work just clicks once. Could it be the ignition control module because I smelled smoke from that area?

The ignition can't prevent the starter from cranking. Since the battery was the only electrical item touched it is logical to recheck it.

I would measure the battery voltage and check the starter circuit. The click suggests the starter is getting connected but is not turning the engine because of a lack of sufficient current.

If smoke is coming from the right side check for a pinched wire, loose ground wire or wrong/bad connection in the wiring there.

Possibly a bad main engine harness.

Did you move the ignition module and disturb the brittle wiring harness' by the alternator?

A wiring issue in the harness is the usual culprit when the dash lights are on with the key removed.

I would not be surprised if you found bare wires in the harness near the alternator.

Is the battery in the right way? The battery can get hooked up backwards.
