posted by  someone claiming to be homer on  Sat Feb 22 02:18 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Ever snce we got the second 850 last fall (95/130k)ive noticed that it smells hot after its shut off. It will for quite some time aftr its parked fill the garage with a burning electrics smell. Its deff more a hot wires smell than a burnt oil thing. Any thoughts wouldbe appreciated--tia homer

It could be anything electrical. Mine had a burning electrical odor for a while and it turend out to be the cooling fan motor being shot.
