Low Voltage Battery and Burning Transmission Smell

[bobbyuofl]

This morning my battery low voltage indicator came on which caused my radio and engine start/stop to quit working. It gave an error message that said something along the lines of most electrical items are disabled.

Then I got out after parking and shutting the engine off and smelt a burning transmission smell. Haven't been pulling or hauling anything yet.

Only 800 miles on my LE.

Anyone had anything similar?

I saw a post over on the JL board awhile back, about some battery cables that were Painfully close to touching from the factory, might want to take a look at yours (that little stop-start one too)

The dealership thinks it’s a bad alternator. Should know Monday when I pick it up.

I’m more curious of that smell. One thing I get paranoid is the smell of electrical items!
