I was preparing to drive my car at night.as i turn on the lights smoke puff out just beneath the dashboard near the instrument panel.all the lights are ok except my panel which is pitch black.I cant see the speedometer,tachometer etc.Smell of burned plastic fills the cabin atmosphere.The car engines has no problem.
one of the wires short circuited, that is on the parking light circuit. without anything using the power the wire overheated and burnt the plastic coating. Shouldn't be very much to fix since you know what caused it and where it had the smoke.
It is a burned wire. The first place to look is at the aftermarket radio wiring. Check the fuses also and make sure they all have the correct rating. The fuse should have blown before anything burned.
