Truck wouldn't start this morning and after gassing it a little while trying to start I got white smoke. Engine cranks but doesn't start. Disconnected batteries both are good. Took GP switch off and tested continuity and it was fried. I've now fried two GP switches since I got the truck 6 months ago, the original one that was on it and then the new one I put in. Both were ignition switches from Napa (https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NW_786101?cid=paidsearch_shopping_dcoe_google) so I woudn't rule out crappy manufacturing but what else could be doing this??
I'm worried that there must be some kind of electrical issue.
Luckily I had another switch in the truck so I installed that and it started fine.
