Help! Car won't start unusual compared to others Gonna make this as short as possible
01 ws6 m6
Everything is normal till I turn it over to start then gauge cluster dies engine bay clicks
Car ran fine when I parked it Friday
My pillar pods and radio stays on
Optima battery fully charged
Buddy wiggled ground cable that java "terminal bolt" that you could only hand tighten starter hit once bought new bolt nothing changed
Then it got weird I held the clutch in and held the key over as if I was starting it while he wiggled cables again then white smoke started pouring out from the driver side around the fuse box-alternator
everything still powers up but when I go to start gauges die in the cluster pillar gauges and radio stay on engine clicks sounds like its coming from driver side but might be passenger and idk any help would be awesome dont think it's alt. cause car was doin fine Friday when I last drove it but idk
