Default 240 Smoke under hood..

3 days ago · #1





Hello, I'm in need of some advice. A few days ago while driving smoke filled my 93 240 sedan.

The smoke smelled electrical and was coming from under the brake pedal as well as from the right top corner of hood. Immediately, stopped and turned the car off. We had only gotten a few feet out of our driveway. The smoke subsided but now our SERVICE, BATTARY, ABS, BRAKE FAILURE and PARKING BRAKE lights are all on. We managed to drive it back into our driveway, she started right up and the brakes are working. Any thoughts on the issue? Relay possibly? Alternator?

Thanks in advance. I haven't had the car long, its honestly my dream car so I'm somewhat heartbroken over this

You need to do a close visual inspection of the wiring, looking for heat damage. impossible to guess without seeing it.
