Re: No Brake or Dash Lights

Did you do any work just prior to this happening?

The reason I ask is I once had the back bumper off my stepside and when I put it back on, I pinched a wire in there and never noticed. I stopped at a traffic light and smoke started coming out of the column when the brakes were applied! (wish my fuse HAD blown, it melted some turn signal switch wires that were NOT fun repairing)

I'd start by inspecting your wires to see if there is anything pinched or shorting out.
