When I was trying to start the car a burning smell was coming from the motor.RACQ come out and the voltage on my battery was 12.4 volts. RACQ put jumper leads on and the car still would not start, then RACQ started their car up and my car started.My Battery is 18 months old.This problem has occurred from time to time even during warranty period and FORD could not find a problem.Can anyone assist in diagnosing what the problem is with my car?Your help would be much appreciated Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 2nd time I have noticed the burning smell.Should I take my car to the local auto electrician then take my car to ford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
