for about a 2 weeks now I have smelled something like a electrical burning smell and can't find a thing wrong. No fuses out, all circuits seem working fine and no hot relays or wires?? It comes and goes and seems strongest comming from the fuse box on pass side dash? Nothing under the hood or anywhere else??

Never smells outside the car, and is not any different with or without the heater on. Seems to be comming from the pass side fuse box located in the dash thats where it is the strongest. No hot wires or relays can be detected and no fuses blown?

Hi:
Do you ever smell it from the outside of the car? What have the road conditions been like where you live? Is it worse when you use the heater?

Let me know.

Ok this is a tough one to identify from a computer. I'm going to have a friend look into it for you.
