Re: smoke rising from steering column

The smoke and the inoperative turn signals are related. You have a bad multifunction/turn signal switch, a very common problem on these cars. The smoke is the grease that lubricates the contacts getting burnt due to the arching. There are two different ones, depending on whether you have steering wheel mounted accessory controls, so make sure you get the correct one.
