The last 2 days, I can smell an electrical type odor after start up in the cabin. Anyone else experience anything like that? Any related fixes tried? 2022 JT Mohave, 3.6L, auto trans.

One thing for sure, you can't put the smoke back into the electronics. It will show itself one day when it quits working.

Any related fixes tried?

Since there could be 1,000 causes, there isn't going to be one fix.
It's like "I don't feel well, what's the solution. Well, could be a cold, pneumonia, cancer or a bug bite. No one solution because there's no single cause.

PS - check the side of your hood vs. your post and your forum info........

If you had a thermal imager, I would say pop the fuse panel top off and see what is pulling high amps and go from there.

Does it do it in accessory before going to run or start? In Run before starting? Only when in the process of starting? Does it continue smelling when it is running after it is started or is it fading away then? Is it only in the cab or is it also outside or under the hood? Is AC on when you start it (which might create a smell or might bring in an outside smell)? The starter is a high-amp system that is energized when starting, it could be something to do with it or the wiring to it. So many possibilities...
