## Narrative
Without any warning,  smoke started billowing from the driver's side dash and overhead liner. When looking for the cause, I  pulled the solenoid and the smoking stopped.  Upon further inspection,  I  discovered broken, melted wiring in the rear drivers side door jamb. In researching this  problem online, I  found that other owners had experienced the same problem.
