I dont know what could be going on with my 95 accord, I just hit 115k miles on her with synthetic oil changes every 3k. I loaned my car to my older brother for 1 day when I got it back it had a flat tire, fixed that. As soon as i drove 10 miles down the road I noticed that there was white smoke with an electrical smell coming out of the ac vents with the AC turned off no blower motor on either. I dont know if it is related or not but it was also started to get a little hot on the temp gauge and noticed my radiator was a little low.

filled the radiator back up does not overheat now however white smoke pours out of the vents as soon as i start driving it with a horrible electrical smell, it feels like hot air coming out of the vents also.

Any ideas?

 

You may have a short and the wiring is overheating and melting the wire insulation. Go get a flashlight or something and look underneath the passenger side dash at the blower motor wiring, etc. Also, look underneath the driver side dash just in case some other wiring may be exposed, etc.

Was there any work done previously like an aftermarket sound system, amp, or alarm system?

 

Hi Redbull thanks for the quick response, i actually took the blower motor out didnt smell electrical, the plug itself looked orange on one side but i wasnt too sure, the weird thing i noticed is that it will not smoke unless i drive it for 6 miles if it idles and does not move it can run forever without smoking, checking driver side now

no amp or system, replaced cd player a long time ago with a pioneer. Would the blower motor smell burned when pulled out? There were some leaves in it which i removed.

 

wires on driver side look perfect no sign of damage

 

anything else i should check?

 

just an update, put a camera down in the vents and found coolant, replacing the heater core tomorrow, that should be the problem, must be the coolant that smells electrical in case someone else has this issue
