Question type: Maintenance & Repair

While I was driving home I noticed a very brief puff of white
smoke coming out of the vin number area on dash board
near a speaker the mini one. It stopped and I smelt a very
brief electrical smell. I drove it some more and did not
smell it again or see it again. Could of the mini speaker
went out? Or what. Drivers side dash near vin number area
and not the vents. Also it seemed brief.

Sounds like an electrical short and you got some burining and melting. When something doesn't work, you will find out what the issue is. Usually high load circuits go first, like the headlight switch. Not so much the speaker wires.
