Hi there, what could be the cause of a burning smell near the TIPM/fusebox? Even when you put the start/stop button at "on" without starting the car.
Thank you in advance.

Hard to say as the TIPM carries pretty much all the electronic controls, You might want to see if you can find a thermal camera and use it to look for the hot area. You could also try a hose trick, put a piece of tubing up to your nose and move the other end around until you find the strongest smell then look close in that area.
