1995 speedometer smoke?
sorry if this is already a topic, but I didn`t see anything on here about it. I´m just getting into the automotive scene and dont really know anything about cars or trucks, so Ill explain it as best as I can. Malon is a 1995 F-150 XL inline 6 with a 5 speed manual I bought used for 500 about a year ago. I was heading to work at 8 this morning and crossed Ingalls Ave. when my speedometer decided to have a rave for a few seconds (needle started tweaking all over the place and went to 0) right as I shifted into third @~25 MPH. Then I had to pull over because of a faint white smoke coming from between the dash and the black cowl around the gauge cluster. I shut it down, disconnected the battery and looked under the dash and the space where the radio used to be and saw nothing burning or any more smoke. I reconnected the battery, waitied a few minutes to see if it smoked again and drove off. the speedometer is working fine, odometer is fine, and no more smoke...any ideas what I should look at first 
and should I rename my truck "Fireball Express"? any info is greatly appreciated.

As for the smoke, I'd pull the dash cluster as soon as possible and look around for signs if shorting. The smoke came from somewhere
