Car problem

There is smoke coming from my steering wheel column and my lights won't turn off. I am no car expert, but this can't be good.

One of the switches in the column shorted out, possibly the turn signal switch or lights.

I wouldn't think ignition switch though.

You could find a cheaper mechanic if you allow them to use your move. Good mechanics are hard to find and no move is worth that.

These two sentences make no sense to me.

Seinfeld reference

Jerry: Sixteen hundred dollars? That's all? *Ooh*, they are ripping me off.

Elaine: So what are you going to do?

Jerry: Well, that's it. I'm going back to Putty. No move is worth this.

Elaine: Oh! You mean you don't care if he does the move anymore?

Jerry: Are you kidding? He can do every move I've ever done! Do you know
what a good mechanic is worth? You can't compare that to sex.

It sounds like some wires in your column have become crossed. The whole thing probably needs rewired. I had this done a number of years ago. It was less than 500 then.

The switch controlling the lights and windshield washer fluid went bad . 400 to fix. All in all, not bad (I guess).
