losisonq Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Noticed smoke coming from my dash while sitting in drive-thru line. Figured out it only happens while pressing the brake pedal(brake light switch I assume). Tracked it down to the bottom part of my hazzard switch. So hot it burns fingers touching it. Let off brake and it's fine. Had a spare cluster switch and replaced it. Replaced all brake light bulbs(1157) and also the 3rd brake light bulb. Still smoking. Real head scratcher.

8ty8starion Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sounds like a bad ground somewhere along the way thats the only way that would happen! When you took the cluster cover out did you see melted wires following the switch? Man thinking about it more and I noticed I was scratching my head lol! best of luck!

89Steve Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 sorry i cant offer you a solution but i had the EXACT same problem a couple weeks back. Changing out the hazard switch fixed it though...if fuses are all rated correct, couldnt the most logical solution be a bad ground though? makes me wanna check mine tomorrow...
