Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Unrelated and probably flooded.
If there was a puff of smoke and the dash/parking lights went out, there is nothing that ties them to the engine running.
The light switch and light harness connection is a known issue with these cars.
Did you check fuses? I would hope that you would before posting.
