Burning smell from A/C vents. Help!

Post by raa1144 »

I am smelling a burning odor through my vents in m y 2001 Bonnie. The only thing I can think of is the blower motor. Has anyone got any experience with this? Is there a tutorial on how to remove blower?
TIA

Electrical burn or oil burn? Pretty common to have leaking valve cover gaskets get oil on the hot exhaust manifolds, and that smokey air makes its way into the cabin.

If it smells like an electrical burn, I would disconnect the battery IMMEDIATELY! until you can isolate the source.
