I was driving the other day and smoke came from the dashboard on drivers side. The horn/stop fuse #7 under hood was blown. I just bought the car and it was a 30 amp fuse in a 15 amp slot. Wires from my brake light switch were melted together and it extends to a bundle where at least 4 wires look melted as well. How hard is it to remove the dashboard and trace the damage? The car runs great still and the only things that aren't functional are the break lights, horn cruise control and I lost sound to my speakers

Wow 30Amp in a 15A spot!! Well you need brake lights and horn the other stuff not so much.

Have a multimeter and some time?
