Suzuki: 2004 Suzuki XL-7, low beams, high beams

Question
I have a Suzuki 2004 XL-7 and the high beams will not go out if when the car is turned off and smoke also comes out of the steering wheel.

Answer
I'm not entirely certain, but I think the headlight high/low/flasher switch on the steering column is shorted, and needs replacement.  This is fairly common with many Japanese cars, although a failure to be able to switch from low to high and vice versa or a loss of low beams is more common.
