Wires that connect to the FSR are likely part of the vehicle wiring harness. Replacing one or more harnesses is a big job. I think it is more reasonable to replace just the burnt-out wiring with wiring of the appropriate capacity/gauge. You will also need to source connectors.
This site is to share information among enthusiasts. It is not to teach or encourage people with limited mechanical ability to do repairs that leave them worse off than when they started. Sometimes the best DIY advice is to simply not do a repair, but rather to hire somebody with the skills to do it. Brakes are a good example, as I see many suggestions to throw a set of pads in, when in reality people should understand the risks involved.
Do you know that the FSR you put in was wrong, or was it just one that you purchased from an internet site that may have been the right one, but badly assembled?
In your case, you initially decided you could change an FSR, likely based on reading all the "just do it, it is easy...." posts. You changed it with one that was not the correct version, and you fried some electrical circuits. You appear to have made the problem worse. Now you need to replace the wiring, and replace any additional electronic components that were damaged by putting the wrong FSR in. Anything that smoked is likely toasted. You have reconnected wires, and are getting sparks. You have a short circuit. Have you ever seen a vehicle that has had an electrical fire? It can burn to the ground. And you want us to diagnose which wire to replace, over the web, without ever seeing it?
If you cannot read the published wiring diagrams, determine the appropriate wire gauge, splice in new wiring, and test the circuits for continuity and short circuits, then you shouldn't be working on it. If you do continue to work on it, you should start off by purchasing a fire extinguisher in case of future misadventures.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but what you choose to do next could cost you a lot more than you have lost already.
