Not really smoke in the cockpit but it did make me think about my pilot training and what to do about smoke in the cockpit. I think I’d rather deal with loss of engine power than fire in the cockpit.
Anyway, wha had happened wuz, I was in my 93 Silverado stopped at a red light when I noticed the distinct aroma of burning electrical. There was smoke coming from under the dash and I was concerned about the the possibility of fire. I was about thirty minutes from home. One of the blade fuses actually melted and fell out of the fuse block and it seemed the smoke had stopped. I was about ten minutes from home when I smelled smoke again, more from under the dash and now from the steering column. I got home, blinkers wouldn’t work, interior lights didn’t work, and the tail lights were staying on. I disconnected the battery, I guess I have some trouble shooting to do. Thirty year old truck giving problems, they just don’t make em like they used to.
