Hello Brenda,
I would hate to say it is safe, and then something happen.
You might want to have them come get it.
Meanwhile, there used to be a steering column expert. You might see, and ask him.
I would really expect any melting or shorted wire to blow a fuse, so you could see if everything still works.
