For no good reason!!! Smoking wires is never normal. This means that something is probably very wrong and the wires are getting very hot. Now you need to find what is making the wires overheat and that's where is can get tough. It can be a variety of reasons. For some reason the wire either can't handle the juice going through it and is breaking down or too much juice is going through it and is breaking it down. Take care of this immediately because it WILL cause a fire! It sounds as though you may not know a whole lot about cars but please listen! Don't drive the car and have it looked at immediately before it catches fire and hurts someone. Where there is smoke, fire soon follows!
