Default problem after problem..

well go figure.. i get my transmission fixed and stabbed in last weekend.. now all a sudden this weekend i got more problems.. im driving down the highway and just hit a slight bump in the road and my interior lights just cut off.. gauges, accessories, everything.. including my driving lights, headlights still worked tho. well i figure ok just a fuse so i find the blown fuse.. replace it.. then the lights dimmed really low battery volts dropped to like 10 and smoke started coming from the vent on top of the dash. so i ripped out the fuse to get it to stop.. i got some serious wireing issues somewhere.. this crap sucks.. anyone know someone that can fix my issue around the dallas area?

Can't recommend someone for you, try posting in your regional section, I'm sure someone can help. What fuse was blown? It's telling you that there is an issue with that circuit somewhere, so that helps narrow it down a bit...
