94 4X4 2500 slt. Ok I've been working on the ram for a few months not being started the whole time. Took fuel tank,bed,bumper off and wiring loose to paint the frame and replace brake and fuel lines. Finally started it today and while preparing to bleed the brakes i saw a bunch of smoke in the cab. took the panels off the dash and saw one wire to the ignition switch was definitely fried and maybe a couple more going to the steering column. Now is a common problem? All recalls have been done and i didn't see where any wires were pinched. There was one of the marker bulbs that got smashed but i didn't think it would do this. Any ideas? Looks like a gray wire with a black stripe. Thanks Joe
