Today the interior lights started to flash on and off as well as the dashboard readouts. The windshield wipers turned on and wouldn’t shut off. There was also smoke coming from the vents. Does anyone know what this might be before I go to a mechanic?

I’m going to say there is a wiring short. (Smoke coming out the vents?)
