Thank you for replying saturnspeed_12, the smoke had an electical burning smell.
Nothing really works when the key is in the acc/on positions. The headlights, dome light, and chime work, but things that should work with the key turned, turn signals dash lights for check engine, oil, and seatbelt do not work. I have checked around the steering column and by the foot pedels and could not see any wires that appeared burned or otherwise damaged.
I think I am probably in over my head on this one and will have to have it towed to a mechanic here in a couple days. Good thing I only live a few blocks from work...but the grocery is alot further away!!!!
