Bad valve stem seals will cause smoke under these circumstances. It will get worse. The reason this happens is because the higher engine vacuum present in traffic will pull oil past the worn valve stem seals into the cylinder. When you accelerate again, the engine burns this small amount of oil causing the smoke.
The mechanism to make them operate are at the end of the stem that you use to choose either left or right. If it's not working, the steering wheel must be removed, and the part replaced as a complete unit. This unit also works the third center brake light, so if it hadn't been working either ,that will fix both issues.
Valve stem seals are leaking and/or valve guides are worn, opening the seals and allowing oil to run down valve stem. When de-accelerating, oil is sucked down the valve stems, then blown out when you start off. If it smokes under acceleration, then piston rings are worn.
Not without spending alot more money than you want, because you have to have a shop release the ac pressure if there is any, see if you can find the complete hose, then get it re charged, unless you are certified it cost quite a bit
Sounds like the running lights and dash lights are on the same circuit.
check the fuse marked-----instr clstr, (instrument cluster), or simular.
If that fuse is ok, check the other fuses for lights.
There are spring tabs on the inboard side(engine side) of the reservior that are part of the sensor and you have to squeeze together in order to slide the sensor out. The springs run up and down as compared to the master cylinder. Good Luck
CENTER the steering wheel/wheels straight ahead. Remove the air bag using the proper Torx driver. Unplug the wiring connector. Using the proper socket, undo the big nut that holds the steering wheel on. Now, bang the steering wheel left/right/left/right hands until the steering wheel comes loose. Now, here is where it gets a little tricky. There is a round black circle with a yellow tag with red letters. Put tape on it to keep it from rotating right or left. Remove the 4 screws. DO NOT TURN THE ROUND THING. If you turn it, you may damage it. Now, remove the screws that hold on the headlamp switch. Unplug the connector & bolt in the new switch. Easy, as long as you do NOT move the setting on the round thing. This is the air-bag "clockspring".
