Hey,

The other day I put the key in my ignition, turned it into the on position, and smoke started pouring out of my center console. I'm suspecting it to be the power mirror switch. Now when I move it into L or R, the mirror will start moving without me pushing any of the arrow buttons. Shouldn't a fuse have blown? Or is it part of the cigarette lighter circuit? Would that enable it to take such a high temp without blowing a fuse? Pretty scary stuff since the lighter works without the key in the car.
