Electrical problem
1989 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 205, 0 miles
Hello. Last week I had my coolant system flushed at a local shop. I have driven it twice since then and both times I have smelled electrical fumes. The second time I drove it, the alternater caught fire. I was able to put it out quickly, though I fear some minor harness damage. Question is... Is this a coincidence or something related to the work done at the shop. The water inlet hose is just barely above the alternator. Thanks much!
