My car has cause problems after problems and it will never ends.

Well yesterday i was driving and suddently smoke start coming out of the front vent of my dash


There as shown is where it came from. iono what it is but after i pulled over to check and turn on again it stoped. It smells like rubber burning. So i went on with the day hoping it was nothing. So today i went to turn on my car and the battery is dead, so i was like wth. So my bro help me jumped start it and after it starts i let it run for a min or 2 and turned it off. I noticed after i took out my key my engine turns off but everything stays on. My ac, headlight, and radio was on it. its like its on ACC. I check all the fuses its fine. iono how to tell if a relay is bad or not. so now im stuck with a dead battery again. so could u plz help me fix this problem. Im getting so frustrated with my car..

probably burned the insulation off some wires and theyre all shorting to power and grounds and keeping all sorts of things. you need to tear into the cars wiring to see what happened, the car could just spontaneously catch fire! also, why not just unhook the battery when its parked.

exactly. The smoke is coming from some wires that are exposed and touching each other. i would get this fixed asap. You are going to have to rip into the dash alittle bit, but you will know it when you see it, i can guarentee. I would start by tracing the wires from the ignition.
