Smoking heater control???
My 92 bird is having some heater issues, the controls themselves (not the vents) smoke when and ONLY when the slider control is in the "off" position. I checked all the fuses and none of them are blown...
Any ideas?

Locate the switch, turn the controls off and see what happens.

I've seen more burnt out heater controls over the years than I can even count. My GUESS is that once you pull that control out of the center console you will see it blackened and charred at the dash harness connector.
