Although you've said it is an electrical burning smell, I suspect it probably isn't, since an electrical smell of that nature would surely result in some kind of ongoing electrical problem as well and yet the car seems to be fine.

You'll need to describe the type of burning smell (sounds silly, I know). Burning brakes smell like burning clutch, burning oil is completely different, and an electric smoldering altogether different once again. And I'd find the latter worrying - especially in light of the 'pop' and all dead incident.

Right, final post on this as the problem has been identified.

Place the back of your hand against road wheel centres, if you feel one centre warmer than others, you'll have narrowed it down. |
