smoke from dash? 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be eclipsecrt on  Tue Oct 19 05:48 CST 2004 [RELATED]

While driving to work yesterday I didn't make it to the end of my street when smoke started pouring from the dashboard. I immediately cut the car off and investigated. Nothing that I could see was damaged, until that night. When I turned on the lights, nothing on the instrument panel lit up. This is what I think happened. I had taken my clock out last week to see what other useful gauge I could put in its place and failed to hook it back up, I just set it in the glove box. I think that maybe the positive and negative of the wires powering the clock touched. No fuse was blown, I "spun" them all, still nothing. My question is, given this information, where would you start looking? I'm assuming I am going to have to go behind the instrument panel with a voltmeter.
