Sounds like a short. mostly likely the multi-function switch , or maybe clockspring. Disassemble and inspect.
Also relevant details would be nice. year/model/miles please. Thanks

Hey Ivan, welcome to Chevy. My only advise is - in the future, never let the smoke out!

See my post from October 19, 2023. I don't know how to attach the whole conversation I had with myself and one other dude but reading it could give you ideas.
