ON APRIL 1ST 2017 WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION JOB BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UNDER THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD SIDE AND BURNING SMELL, AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE DASHBOARD WENT "DARK OR BLANK" BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON, AND MY WIPERS TURNED ON BY ITSELF. I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE WIPERS WHILE THEY ARE "ON" AND IT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AS SOON AS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE BACK. THE SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL DIDN'T LAST LONG. IT HAPPENED FAST WITHOUT WARNING AND GONE QUICKLY. IT STOPPED BY THE TIME I FOUND A SAFE PARKING SPOT. WHILE PARKED, I FOUND OUT THAT I LOST MY LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS AND SIGNAL LIGHTS) BUT THE HORN, POWER WINDOWS/DOORS/LOCKS AND RADIO ARE STILL WORKING. MY DASHBOARD INDICATOR SHOWED SOMETHING ABOUT "FUSE" WARNING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER (WHO JUST PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE) AND TOLD A SERVICE ADVISOR WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TOLD THE ADVISOR THAT THE "ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON BUT IT IS STEADY AND NOT FLASHING. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY DASHBOARD WENT "DARK" & WIPERS COMBO AGAIN AT LEAST 3X ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE JOURNEY AND CAME BACK WITH THE BAD NEWS OF MELTED DASHBOARD HARNESS / INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DAMAGED DUE TO AN "ELECTRICAL SHORT" AND COST OF ABOUT $5K REPAIR. THE DEALER DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE "ELECTRICAL SHORT". FILED AUTO INSURANCE CLAIM AND THEY ARE NOT COVERING IT (NOT COMPREHENSIVE) BECAUSE THERE'S NO FIRE (CONTAINED)
