jezmoz 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 driving up the road as normal, the windscreen wipers came on and a slight mist of smoke came from the hazard switch, the lights all still work etc, any ideas, some kind of electrical fault? I've checked the fuses and they seem fine? Thought the car was going to blow Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd remove your plastic bits around the steering wheel for inspection. It's not that difficult to find a burnt out wire or something... Link to post Share on other sites
apd 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 remove steering wheel and indicator/wiper attachments and you will find a blob of burntout plastic on one of the attachments-replace asap! Link to post Share on other sites

apd 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 the stalks that go around your steering wheel have copper switches in them.one of these will have signs of melted plastic on them. Link to post Share on other sites
