January 29th, 2017 10:07 PM #1Anyone experienced a burning smell near/top side of the steering wheel? I noticed it when I drove with headlights on kasi gabi ako nagdrive, pero this afternoon wala naman yung burning smell. Chineck ko under the hood wala naman yung amoy, sa loob lang ng car talaga meron. Gusto ko ipacheck, natatakot lang ako idrive baka magcause ng fire

January 29th, 2017 11:40 PM #2What is the year, make, model, mileage of the car? This question had been thrown back to some members like you asking for help. Are your headlights other than OEM? Are there another loads on piggy back to the light circuit? Had there been McGyvering done to the wiring?

January 30th, 2017 10:41 AM #3Honda City 04 AT. I'm not sure if it's OEM, but there's a Honda brand in the headlight. No customization or extra accessories added to the car (I think it's all stock). No electrical job is done within 3 years. I bought it 2nd hand. I think my best bet is to call a mechanic that knows something about wiring stuff. I'm really afraid with the burning smell

The burnt smell could be coming from the under-dash fuse box. The switch stalks don't normally carry a large enough current to cause any burning. But if it did, the relay it is triggering could be the problem.

January 30th, 2017 02:04 PM #7the fuse to the headlight is usually rated at 15 amps (blue fuse). if you have the ability to measure the current to the headlight circuit it would be helpful. if the current is too high there is an overload. if the current is low, there is high resistance in the circuit that is causing the heat build up.

January 30th, 2017 02:15 PM #8the OEM headlamp was designed to be at 60 watts, so, at the nominal 12 volt system, it would be drawing at about 5 amperes each.
