Range Rover 300tdi electrical burn smell
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 9:39 pm
I went out fishing on Sat , pulled up on the beach to set up and could smell this horrible burning smell... so much the kids thought there was a fire somewhere near by .
I searched all the wiring as the smell is an electrical / plastic smell .
Drove home and yup it is still there .
I can smell it strong when the bonnet is closed up along the gap between bonnet and fender on the drivers side .
I can touch every wire and cant find any hot to the touch , battery is not hot nor the terminals .
I disconnected the duel batteries solenoid and the smell is still there .
I had a mate come over and he can smell it bad , but still neither of us can actually locate or identify the problem .
All fuses work , no sign of burnt or smoke , so I'm asking for ideas please .
What should i be looking at /for
Thanx in advance
