Well the car has not started in a while and the battery is close to dead but I used another fully charged battery to try to start it and it started fine, but the next day when I tried to start it again the was smoke coming from behind the dash???
Now it does not start anymore and when the turn signal is engaged it stays on and makes this buzzing noise and no longer blinks. Is my ignition switch shot? I do not have any ideas, so help wuold really be appreciated.

it sounds like you have some faulty wiring. what did the smoke smell like, did it smell electrical or mechanical

Main Relay??? I honestly have no clue on this but I know a lot of people say when your car doesnt start try replacing the main relay and a lot of times that will solve it. Not sure about the smoke and all that though.

The smoke may be caused by an oil or fuel leak where they are getting on the engine or starter and it burning off. Or you may be frying your starter.

Thanks for the responses, I am pretty sure it has something to do with the wiring from the interior.
