I have small puffs of electrical smoke coming from the steering column when I drive with the AC on, took it to the garage and they said it was the ignition motor so I changed it. Puffs of smoke still happening and only when A/C is on - they say that's not the cause and are at a loss?
Is it puffs of smoke or like a vapor. does it smell like coolant
Hi Ricardo, thanks for taking the time to reply. Puffs of smoke with an electrical burning smell, each time 3 or 4 puffs after I turn the blowers off. I then pull over and stop for 5 minutes, and set-off again with no A/C and it's fine. I had the garage check for the signal light switch etc and they said there is no evidence of burning/melting in any of the obvious places they would look?

SOURCE: puffs of smoke coming out of the steering column
the problem is your signal light switch circuit board is worn out. Ive replaced that same part cause i was having the same problem. Then i had to replace my steering column for other reasons and now guess what .......MORE SMOKE!.
