twojeeps Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 just got in the MJ, started it right up.... pulled the e-brake and it shut off..... turn the key..... NOTHING..... open the hood and smell an electrical burning smell over by the relay/ battery area....... WHAT HAPPENED?????? '88 MJ 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I would check fuses and what have you first. Then I would probably check around the e-brake for hanging wires that may have been pinched or cut when you pulled the ebrake. Your ebrake is in the center console or on the floor?

djag12 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I would look by the fuse box under the drivers side. I think the e-brake cable is routed that way. Like twojeeps said maybe your ebrake pinched a wire and grounded it. Or it could be totally unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twojeeps Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 e-brake is next to clutch. it did rub the wire a little, but did not pinch. fuses are good. still nothing but the buzzer when i turn the key. lights work. fuses anywhere else?? could it be the relays by the battery or something else in that area??? i see no burnt wires. HELP and THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 what wire is hanging down by the ebrake? Is it possible your foot caught it and pulled the wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy6187 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 sounds like a relay burnt up or a fusible link burned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJohnny Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 check the green fusible link it is located near where you saw te smoke this happened to me on my auto when i applied the e brake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
