I had something bust and cause smoke to come from under my radio. This happened when I was at 4k rpm's no idea what happened. I check ecu and everything is fine on it. Now my problem is my car windows won't go up and light when you open door doesn't come on. Also the beeping noise it usually makes when you open door doesn't work either and my ac doesn't blow no more the light comes on but it doesn't blow. All this worked before. What fuse would cause this or rely? Because it was something under the radio.
 
Sounds like something under the radio area shorted out and probably caused the smoke! It most likely took out a few fuses from what it sounds like! Start checking them all and eliminate the good ones this will also help you trace what blew! Does the radio work anymore? Is it a stock head unit or aftermarket?
 
Well the headunit doesn't work on the radio so hard to tell if it works or not. But where are the fuses for the window/lights in car/beeping/air ? Cause I don't have the top for the fuses under the steering wheel so hard to know which is which.
 
Search for it online I can post a pic of the cover in a bit when I get home if it helps. Either way you need to test them all and see what blew and exactly what caused it. The reason I asked about the radio is if its aftermarket the wires had to be wired in. Most of the time this isn't done poropely and results in problems down the road. This way be what caused your smoking issue and related problems. Took me 2 seconds to find bro!!
