wining noise and burning smell
after parked the car for like 2 hr while going to the doctor, when I got out and started the car, it has this wining noise coming from the right side (from inside the car). When i got out to see what's wrong, I smell this burning smell, not a lot. The noise got louder for a moment when I turn the steerin wheel. The car ran fine so I got to the dealer, but they didn't know what's wrong so I had to leave it there for them to check it tomorrow.
Anyone know the problem? I can just wait for tomorrow but it's....my MAX
Thanks
ps. I just got my FRANKENCAR intake today and can't try it out (more )

Was your alternator part of the recall? The old alternators have been known to catch on fire.

Could be a line to your power steering came loose, and sprayed onto your exhaust, causing a whining sound when you turn the steering wheel and a burning smell due to the power steering fluid burning on your exhaust...check your power steering fluid level.

Sounds like I had the same thing. Check the alternator. Also the a/c idler pulley. Nissan checked mine out and said the alternator was fine, but the idler pulley was bad. So I've ordered a new pulley and waiting for it to come from tustin nissan. The dealer wanted $65 and I got it from tustin for $41. Does the noise change with the rpms?

Nissan just called me and said they couldn't find nothing wront with the car. Everythign look fine to them.
I'll check the fluid and exhault thing, but the fluid level is right, just little below the max line.
And the alternator is being replaced by Nissan right now for the recall. For the idler pulley, I don't know Nissan must have checked it already but they said nothing wrong that they could find.
And yea, the noise change with the rpm, a bit louder as i rev the engine.
Anyone know this please help cuz even Nissan can't find it.
