Ok well i was driving my car andd when i almost got ot my detination i hear this noise. It would do it randomly annd when the noise started my tach would flicker. So i drove i to my destination and turn it of. Then i go to turn car on and i see smoke and it flickers again and then stop doing it so i drive a litle more. Next time i get in my car abot 20 min later i trn car on and it suddenly dies on me and see smoke. After that car wont start/crank just does the beeping noise af if key wasnt in the on possition and none on the lights come on( the ones that turn on when u put it on on). And my alram also dosnt work? Any suggestions?
thanks

smoke from where?

whats the voltage at the battery? alternator plug and wiring ?

my money is on the alternator getting fried and possibly blowing some fuses. check the connections and fuses.

check the manual:

Just came from under dash or even maybe from sterirng wheel not to sure

who installed the alarm? if it isnt alternator (or anything else under the hood) then i would start there. also is there anything else wired into the car that isnt factory?

baPES

Nope would the alternator caause alarm not to work or would it caus the car not knowing key is turned?

sicegcivic

a bad alternator would cause a dead battery which would in turn cause alarm not to work. but smoke from under the dash/steering column sounds like something is shorting out. i would check if there are any burnt or melted wires, and check any wires that look tapped into.
