You need to do two things:
1.) Edit you post so that it can be understood. Use periods and capital letters to mark the start and end of sentences. Electrical problems are difficult enough to troubleshoot without having to translate what you wrote into easily readable text. Refuse to do this and people will think you are dumb and not able to communicate. That greatly limits the kind and quality of answers you get.

2.) Which fuse link is smoking: There are several of them bundled together under the tape. Unwrap the tape and check it out.



Fuse links come with a current rating just like fuses. A clue as to what current they are designed for is to look at the size wire they protect.
