No melted wires all the connectors are good not sure where the smoke is coming from. I can smell it but cant find it. Iv taken apart the dash and removed the rigged head unit still no luck. Seems to only happen with the headlights being on. So I removed the toggle switch but not sure what to do about getting the headlights to work again.

Smoke started again tonight I even removed the head lights and wired my hellas up to serve as lights. Smoke came out of the defrost vents up front. Time to rip the entire dash out now.

Havent yet but I have made a new wiring harness for the lighting system. New relays and 14ga wire seems to have fixed the issue.
