Why is there smoke coming from my steering wheel whenever i turn the lights on?
Everytime i turn my lights on in my 2003 Dodge Stratus R/T, smoke starts coming from the steering wheel column from the space the blinker stock sits in. It does not smoke when i turn my parking lights on or when i use the blinker. It only does it when i turn the lights on or when i use my highbeams. What could be wrong?!?

I'm going to say a frayed wire is causing a short between the headlight control switch and the headlights themselves. I would get it to a service shop ASAP, it could cause a fire.

PARK THE CAR IMMEDIATLY DO NOT DRIVE IT. you have a bad switch probably now, however, a fuse should have blown already. since it did not, there is an excellent chance your car can catch on fire and burn into a crispy car. It needs to go to an electrical shop, asap, I would disconnect the battery NOW. AND THEN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER, OR ELECTRICAL SHOP if you continue driving, this could be a disaster waiting to happen. tow it to the shop. best of luck
