Default 96 Chevrolet Cavalier V4 with 2.2L - 08-03-2004 , 01:07 PM






My friend has tried to start the car but he saw a smoke coming out from
wheel.. it might be the wires burned but done replaced new ignition
switch. What do you think?

Assuming its the driver side wheel, the battery and wiring harness sits
close by.
Open the hood and tell me where the smoke comes from.
If I read correctly, you replaced the ignition switch. Is there a
possibility you may have some wires not in the correct place anymore?
Does the car start? Turn over? Make funny noises? Smell like burning wire?

Out of the wheel well?

Sounds like the harness to the starter, maybe the battery cable to the
starter, or just the starter went poof!

If its the steering wheel then there is a recall, take it to a GM dealer.
