It seems likely that you have an electrical issue. If you are not electrically or mechanically capable I would suggest taking it to a mechanic you trust or even better would be a friend that is an electrician that can test the electrical connections and rerun wiring and thereby fixing your issue hopefully, good luck let me know how it works out for you.
I use an 25 year journeyman electrician for problems such as these with my Drag Racing vehicles, well and all my vehicles two boats and a truck and SUV and my daughters camry. HE does alot better than the mechanics and I can usually get it done for a 12 pack.

SOURCE: Burning smell when ac is turn on

well as for the ford man sorry to here that. I am a holden man myself, but it is most likly that your fan switch is on its way out if you have a test light just pop the switch out and see if you have power to your high setting if not replace your switch. And for mgauthier I would suggest you just reroute your overflow pipe so it overflows onto the ground not onto hot metal parts. But you shouldn't have coolant coming out your overflow all the time. As for burning smell it was probably the switch burning out and failing.

SOURCE: gas smell and smoke

I don't see how trans fluid answers this question because i would first be wondering where th fuel smell and smoke are coming from... i had a leaking fuel rail on my truck and replace it along with the injectors and had better mpg and no fuel smell or smoke... maybe this helps better than just say trans fluid....

SOURCE: gas smell and burning smell from honda 1997

Could be two different problems.
If the check engine light is not on, I would look at the vapor canister for the gas tank. Its usually mounted in the engine compartment.
If you have a small oil leak, the fumes will be sucked into the passenger compartment thru the cowl vents.

1999. Why does it smell inside as though something is burning?

If you smell burning electrical then likely you have a short that is overheating some wiring. If that is the case, then you should track down the source ASAP. Are all electricals working properly, heater motor? Any aftermarket stereo systems or amps installed?

My power windows and wipers stopped working on my 1995 ford explorer

Your wiper system and your power windows share several different circuits and components including the Battery Saver Relay, The Inadvertent Power Relay and the Generic Electronic Module. Each of these circuits need to be tested individually to determine the location of the failure. Chances are that one repair will fix both your power windows and your wipers. However, locating the actual cause is going to be the tough part and wil require some considerable skills in diagnosing automotive electrical systems.

If you think you can handle it yourself and you have the testing equipment necessary to diagnose the circuits, I can guide you through it.

My transfer case is need to be repaired.

it sound like you have a broken pinion shaft in between the converter and the gears. the only solution is to have your transmission repair by reputable repair shop. but before you do that check your fluid level smell the fluid check for burned smell if it is then you really have to have to bring it to the shop for repair.

Bad sounds, bad smells from 94 ford explorer

Sounds like you may have a vacuum line off or ruptured going to the EGR valve. The burning smell is probably the catalytic converter. When the engine runs rich you will get a sulfur smell that smells sort of like rotten eggs.

2006 Ford Explorer slipping when accelerated

Change the auto transmission fluid and filter. Pay attention to the smell of the fluid. If it smells burnt, there is likely burned or worn clutches. You can compare the smell of the old fluid with the new fluid if you're a newbie. it also doesn't hurt to save a sample to share with an expert if you know one. Also pay close attention in the bottom of the pan for metal filings, fragments etc. A fine layer of black silt is usually normal. If the trans is burned out, there will be evidence in the pan. NEVER rev the engine to get an auto to go into gear, and avoid letting the transmission slip at all costs. Overhaul is a major job and very expensive. I don't know why they'd change wheel bearing on a slipping auto. Or why they couldn't diagnose it for you. Hope this helps.
