I smell burning, need help findin cruise switch.

[The Rev]

Ok. I took a look under my master cylinder thursday after the chat, couldnt really find anything? This is my 93 and I wanna disco. that cruise switch so I don't blow up.

I smelled burning outside of work (we think its the blower motor in the ac that blew last month)

Then I smelled burning on this street a few blocks over, then I smell it again now on my street/in my driveway.

I'm getting a little paranoid, where is this switch? Also in one of my pics I labeled the uca bolt so you can see that the pic is taken from the drivers side wheel well, through the hole I made to replace my uca haha.

Post # 15 to see location on 93, relative to everything else. Not sure why you have damp, but when you disconnect the switch have a look/feel around it to see if its leaking.

Anyway, gotta go and watch ''mirrors'' Lol. Let us know how it went!

As far as horrors go, not bad. Definitely worth a watch!

Yeah, have a look in the daytime - you might then be able to see where that damp has come from.

Edit: Now that i have had time to look at your photos, i think i can see the block that the cruise switch is attached to in your second pic.

That damp is above. Could be an old spillage or possibly a leak in / around the master cylinder?

Ok I see where it is, I'll be changing my oil (for some reason its horribly dirty?) tomorrow and I'll unplug it from underneath.

Update: A large junkyard in a different city burned down. The smell was all over the place, my car didn't blow up!
