When blinker was on it went off and smoke came out of the emergency blinker switch on the steering column. What's wrong, how much should it cost. Thanks.

    you need a multi-function switch.this is extremely common.I am not sure of the part cost,they used to be about 150.00 but inflation and time are our worst enemies.labor is usually 1.50 hrs at whatever the shop rate is.if you are somewhat handy you can replace it yourself.
