Do not drive the car much, Today when driving I was on the freeway and decided to use the cruise control It would not work, When i arrived at destination i checked fuses and 31 steering column/Ignition/lighting module park lamps was blown. Then 32 brake on/off switch,brake pressure switch blew keeping me from shifting out of park! Was checking all of the lights for blown bulb grounding out when i opened my trunk it smelled of electrical fire! further investigation the smell is coming from the ballast and the center light does not work at all any more. Light had a mind of it's own would work if I turned the lights on and off now nothing at all no brake or running light from the center light at all after replacing all of the fuses the rest of the lights work and cruise control.
would a bad ballast be guilty of this mishap.
Thank you
