Well, don't know if they had the clockspring in 95 and if they did, how it
works, but obviously some kind of harness in your steering column shorted
out. Better dig it apart and find out how many shorted. If there is some
type of clockspring it might not be pretty. Sounds like something may have
been rubbing over the years and the insulation finally gave way. HTH...good
luck.

Hey all,

 I was driving down to summit racing today to get some head studs, all of
the
sudden it starts running like its missing. So I pull over and it stalls. I
checked all the wires and injector connections, all looked good. I go back
into the truck and start cranking the motor, when all of the sudden I get a
big whisp of electrical smoke coming up from the steering column, and then
I
can't even get it top crank, no dash light or anything when in the acc.
position. It still gets power to other stuff (like hazards) but nothing to
the ignition. Any advice?
