So I went to start my car this morning, put the key in the ignition and tried cranking it, but it just kept cranking. Then smoke started rising from underneth the steering wheel.

I took the dash apart and my wires that go to the cruse control somehow grounded out. As seen in the pics below:

So I ended up disconecting the crusie control wires, to see if that's what was causing the starting problem.

But the car still wont start.

So do you think it could be either a bad igniton switch or a bad starter?

So it turns out its the ribbon wire that runs up the turn signal to the cruse control, controls. And the car still is not starting. No the fuel pump or the ignition switch. There is no spark, any ideas?
