youngval9 Posted October 12, 2018 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 at 12:55 AM Hey—I just bought a used 2016 Fusion Energi with 31,000 miles a few days ago. When I charge, I seem to smell a faint burning smell. It’s like plastic or wax is burning; it is not eggy or sulfur-like. It is not strong and goes away within a 10 minutes. It is only as I charge and then is gone. It is not coming from the plug on my garage wall (120 volt) or where I plug in on the car. I’ve put my nose a few inches from both to check. I also have checked my trunk, and I smell nothing. Popped the hood—didn’t smell anything there! Darn! Puzzled. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried? I’m hoping it was something that the dealer used to clean the engine that is burning off. But, thought I would ask! Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted October 12, 2018 at 09:54 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 at 09:54 AM (edited) It is not normal. Is the 120 volt outlet a dedicated outlet, that is there is nothing else connected to that circuit breaker? That is what you are supposed to be using. If it is not a dedicated circuit, there could be a loose connection at any of the intervening points that is getting hot.
