smoke means fire. u obviously have an electrical short in steering column. best take it to an auto electrician
This wire should be pink/black.
the coils are directly on top of each spark plug. they are round and have an electrical plug coming out of the side.
It is probably not coming from inside the motor. What you probably have is a bad alternator bearing, steering pump bearing, etc.
You don't the ignition switch on a 1974 Dodge Powerwagon because there is no such vehicle. They did not make a 1974 Dodge Powerwagon!Wrong I personelly am looking at the title to a 1974 dodge power wagon ! i own one so get facts strait or dont respond to ???Are you talkin about the ignition coil? if so its twords back left it'll be black and cylindrically shaped simply remove and replace old wire onto new ignition coil.First off Power Wagons have been made way back and long before 74's.If your talking the ignition switch in the column. You have to remove the steering wheel, horn assembly, and move the directional assembly out of the way. If you look down on the right hand side there will be a hole. There is a spring loaded locking pin that you insert a small screwdriver into the hole and depress the lock than pull the ignition switch out of the column.I had a 1973 Dodge Power Wagon W200 that I dearly love. I put a stoker Hemi in it and it would pull trucks out of the mud holes like a wild ape on fire. I can't believe someone said that they were not made back them. Get your facts straight. The Power Wagon was used in world war 2 as the main truck that transported are troops across the European theater.ANSWERI bought my 1974 Dodge Power Wagon in December 1973. It came complete with POWER WAGON hood emblems. Sales literature also identifies 4x4 as POWER WAGON.ANSWERThe DodgePower Wagon was a Four_wheel_drivePickup_truckproduced from 1945 through 1980. This early version was based on a military truck and is a predecessor to the many four wheel drive pickups in use today.
Coming to the conclusion on replacing a turn signal switch is usually the last thing on my mind, if the mechanics is good, you should had open the original before replacing it, and cleaned it with some sort of penetrator, if it kept acting up, study the steering callum well and look for a lever that released the signal.
What kind of car? It could be the horn shorting out? or another electrical issue with blinkers, etc. Can also be the power steering resivoir is low of fluid.
squeaking noise coming from sleeve covered arm coming from steering column to the wheel
Could be a problem inside the steering column
its happened to me.....my mechanic says it was the ignition switch of my car....had it replaced for $300
short in your turn signal switch...replace it.....check your brake lights
you have to go under the dash and take out the steering column. and the ignition switch should have a wire going down to the bottom of the column coming from the ignition lock.

All power steering systems use a pump on the front of the engine driven by a belt. This pump will have metal lines coming from it that connect to the steering box, or power rack that is near the steering column that comes out of the cabin.
If you have a tilt steering column the movement is caused by the tilt mechanism literally coming apart. I had several cars with that problem, I went to a junkyard and bought replacement columns that were in good condition and replaced the entire column.
if it is anything like a 1985 camaro it is probably the switch on the steering column that has gone bad cost about 12 dollars but it is hell getting to it you have to take off all of the electrical covers under the dash and there should be two screws to get to the column support after you undo those the steering column should be loose and it should be a slider type switch about half way down with a metal rod going to it from your turn signal arm the switch will prolly have about two or three wires coming out of it and nothing else.
Should be under the cover of the underside of the steering column usually close the the connector harness for the steering column 4 bolts that hold up the column might have to be removed for access
If you are losing fluid, you need to find out where it is going. Usually it is pretty easy to find most leaks: out of the seals on the pump, out of the lines or cooler, out of the steering gear, or out of the rack and pinion. Sometimes you'll have to poke a small hole in the rubber boot on the rack and watch for fluid coming out. Your steering column wouldn't be the problem. Hope this helps.
