I was in the truck today and turned the AC on. After a few seconds, smoke starts coming out of the column. I turned the AC off and pulled over to inspect and couldn't see anything so I drove home. At home I took a better look by removing the panel under the steering wheel, still not being able to see anything. I tested again and could see a spark from behind the column somewhere but not sure where, and immediately shut it off. Checked fuses to see if everything was ok in there and it is, no blown fuses. The blower motor will not turn on with heat or AC. I am wondering if there is a open wire with a short in there, or a relay or something else that is hidden that maybe is the culprit. Any ideas on what to look for in there? On a basic visual inspection, I cannot see anything that is burnt, but will get in there a bit better later on or tomorrow to see.
