Yeah, I knew I had a weak starter to begin with and the car would usually stall and I would have to turn the key again but recently when I would go to start the car, it would stall like usual and on the next key turn, when I actually got it to start I smelt a burning smoke coming from the hood. Last night when I went to start the car, it wouldn't make any noise at all and the engine didn't even rev up. The things that did changed was that all the lights on the car (dashboard, door lights) would light up slightly brighter than usual and I actually saw a white smoke come out of the hood where the starter was located and it smelled like something was burning.I can't move my car and I don't think I should attempt to start it again before this smoking problem is identified. My stepdad says it has something to do with the Crank RLY box located in the starter box. Any help given is very much appreciated.
