My instrument panel lights went out after smoke spewed from the console below the radio. How can I repair this?

Whatever short caused the burn out blew the instrument light fuse so you’ll have to trace the wiring to find the short.

It may be a wire has been rubbing against a sharp metal piece and shorted to ground.

This MAY be a labor intensive job so I would advise you to search as much as you can yourself.
