Ooooh, that smell. Smell that smell.
Wife, our daily driver, has been telling me the last couple of days, about a 'burning rubber' smell in the SVX on some, but not all days. So this a., on the way to church, "By golly, smells like burnin' rubber. Hmmmm".
Okay, I'll look into it as soon as I get a chance.
Took the X to a funeral later this afternoon. No smell. After the funeral,
No BATTERY! Dead. That's it. Kaput.
It's a seven-year DieHard that's only three-anahalf years old. It's real dead. (Sears is way out of *this* town - and probably closed.) AutoZone time. New 900 amp. battery. (Cheaper than the DieHard)
So now I've got this core in my trunk that I'm hoping to get big bucks for. Will I? I'll find out tomorrow.
What bothers me is: why? No warning lights. Alternator belt is plenty tight. Started fine four times just today, and then - Ooops, no fire. Puzzling, what?
And that smell.
