Hey Ketil:

The more I listen to your trouble, it really sounds like the column switch is bad. All of those problems, and the smoke point back to a short in that switch. Are any of the stalks broken and feel free?

The pod gauge issue is most likely unrelated to the rest. I am going to investigate mine this week. Perhaps tomorrow. It looks to be project to get that unit off the dash in one piece. Plus US models have that airbag to contend with. Hopefully it won't decide to go off! If there is no calibration screw, only other options are rebuild at a speedo shop or new head units. This is a very common problem and I am hopeful to be able to outline a home repair.


Best Regards,
John M
