Burnt smell sa steering column/wheel

[hex]

Mga sir hingi lang po ako inputs sa inyo. 2 nights na akong may naaamoy na parang sunog na wire/rubber sa may steering column (yung sa likod ng steering wheel, sorry kung mali term ko). Npansin ko sa gabi ko lang siya naaamoy and parang intermittent. May isang gabing hindi ko naaamoy yung burnt smell

recently nag palagay lang ako ng bagong busina (bosch na snail type) and pinaayos ko lang yung electrical wire ko sa engine bay. Wala naman akong naamoy that day after nilang gawin lahat yun. Tapos may isang incident pa na hindi gumana yung mga ilaw ko sa gauge cluster/panel pero ngayon gumana na.

Punta ako maya sa electrical shop para pa check. Gusto ko lang malaman kung anung possible sira sa car ko. corolla small body nga pala ride ko.

TIA

i believe there's a shorted wire somewhere, could be headlight related seems it happens only at night. have it checked immediately, this could be disastrous if left unchecked.

Will do sir once i get back home. Hope nothing serious kaya kailangan maagapan..

Tapos sabay ko na din pag replace ng bulb sa gauge.

another possibility is a loose socket, maybe the electrician who installed the horn didn't do a good job nof putting back stuff he took apart hehe. could also be coincidental, the car is after all quite old. the same thing happened to me a few years ago. good thing i was able to arrive home safe and sound. goodluck sir.

Nakakapagtaka lang eh lahat eh gumagana except for that incident na biglang hindi na gumana yung ilaw sa gauge ko pero ngayon gumagana na ulit.

Pag wala bang relay yung busina possible po bang unti unting tunawin or masunog yung wire ko?

[moejun2]

without a relay, your horn won't be able to sound to its true potential, as to the burning part, i'm really not sure about that. i still feel that there's a loose connection somewhere in your wiring, as evidenced by the loss of gauge lighting. it may or may not recur but it's best to have it checked.

Try to check the harness behind the ignition switch.

Burnt smell was a busted fuse for the gaugle light. Nakakatawa lang kasi naamoy ko yung parang sunog na wire sa may steering wheel pero and pati sa dashboard sa may gauge area. Eh yung fuse box niya eh nasa lower left corner sa may footrest area. Buti magaling yung electrician and nahanap niya yung culprit.

Thanks tsikot!
