Default short to ground

My problem is that i have a short to ground on st sig fuse on the violet wire side, my solenoid is internally damaged.
Which caused the violet wire side of the st sig fuse to short to ground (melted wires i'm guessing).

It also is in my tail fuse on the red/black side but not on the tns relay side (white/blu).

Details about when i say the dash is out, i mean that the dash is not present in the vehicle lol there is not a dash in the vehicle anymore (only the metal dash bar) which i can remove with 6 bolts. and dropping the steering column again. no ecu, no relays, no fuses, nothing is hooked up. no corner bulbs, no taillight bulbs. no radio, no ac, the whole harness has been disconnected. the cas is unplugged the headlight motors the cruise control is out the airbag module is out, literally everything is out of the car lol.

I have narrowed it down to the violet wire running to the circuit opening relay, and on the tail fuse, its the red/black side, which is not only the driver door sill side of the harness, it goes to the radio and alot of the illumination items aswell sadly, lol the room fuse is in that circuit somewhere but there is no short in that part of the harness which is the weird part. its the starter solenoid is damaged so i tracing back from there basically, and the fact that the aftermarket radio i installed was not compatible with the illumination system in the 90 na6. which i'm sure has alot to do with all my problems. but this is giving me the chance to remove a lot of the items i dont want in the vehicle anymore, and since i do wanna run the car at some events to begin with i rather just run a switch panel because the fan relays arent in use already, there is alot of things missing to begin with.

and would it be possible to use p-fets to run different systems in the vehicle being radio, fuel pump, etc dropping the relay circuits? i mean in theory it would work but adding that to my jumbled mess of a thought train lol.
