Did you have your seatheater on , whenever I have mine on for long period of time , I smell something like burning wire ( all it is dust accumulated aroundthe element... just like any other heater) and if you did not have the seat heater on , it could be caused from exssive braking of trucks close to you. It is deceiving.
