I smelled and saw smoke coming from underneath the stearing column and the gauge needle lights don't work anymore. All the inside fuses are good and going to check under the hood now.
Car runs fine the only thing that I can see wrong is the normaly lighted neddle for rpm, mph, fuel are not lit.

I started my car, put it in drive, turned my headlights on, about 30 seconds later, white smoke came from just above the steering column.. I promptly pulled over and turned the car off, checked under the hood, no smoke, started the car back up. I found that my speedometer and odometer/trip computer had both quit functioning. Grr.. I can't really complain, it's been the only issue I've had with this car.

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a little noise "like a POP" and all of a sudden my gauge lights weren't working and it smelled like something electrical was burning. The next day some of the gauge lights came back on and all the gauges worked besides the fuel and temperature one.
