I was in park last night when I noticed a little puff of smoke release from the inside of my steering wheel column. It didn't come from the dash, but just that location. I believe its the high beam wiring because when I turn them on now it will not stay on. Also, I had installed an aftermarket stereo in my car. Could this have anything to do with this wiring issue?

No. I doubt it. Do the turn signals and hazards still work? This is what usually burns in the column. If ok then its probably the high beam switch but they are the same part.(Combined) hope this helps
