Smoke from steering column
 

ok I posted about my right blinker staying on typed left but meant right. My brake lights would come on by themselves. I looked around at other postings to get some ideas. Well then the column started smokeing and when i turn the right signal on now i here a buzz from the relay in the dash. When the truck is off if I step on the brake pedal the SES light comes on. I took the dash and column apart and havent seen anything yet Im thinking the brake switch or turn signal switch. I cant find any diagrams but the previous owner put rear mounted fog lights and a chargable flash light in the back they tapped into a pink wire at the harness connector going into a computer. Could that be part of the prob i noticed a pink wire going into the signal switch..

sounds like you have a grounded out wire. could be a wire going into the Multi-fuction swich i would trace them all back and make sure they have no damage and also test the wire for resistance

OK where is the Multi-switch located. I'll start there

its the switch were the turn signals/wipers/hazard/ cruise control is located on the column

Tell your steering column it's gonna die from cancer if it keeps on smoking

Smoke
 

I had the same problem... smoke from the steering column area. Had the multifuntion switch replaced and it fxed the problem. If I remember correctly,I ingnored the smoke for a longtime until my brake lights failed, replacing the multifunction switch fixed both issues. Not an expert, but that is my story.

Problem fixed and wasnt as hard as i thought it would be

isn't it nice when that happens. :D
