Hey all, I was just driving home from work, and when I stopped, I noticed my car making a nasty smell like burning hair or maybe plastic. It has been ongoing for 3 days, but I thought maybe it was the heater burning in or something, but today I didnt even run the heat, I actually had to run the AC.

You can barely smell it when inside the car, but once outside its obvious. Is coming from the engine compartment as far as I can tell. No visable smoke.

Im really worried about the smell, any ideas?

I heard something on my left tweeter. Some clicking sound, though it usually "clicks" (I think I heard about this complaint before). Someone told me there is a relay near the left tweeter.

But that one day, it clicked quite loud. Then this burnt "electric" smell. For those of you, have you burnt your computer power supply? Smells like that.

Only happened once and then never again.

Keep me posted.
