Default electrical fire??

my friend has a 2001 civic LX, and shes smelling something burning, like an electrical fire smell. she says its coming from under the dash on the drivers side, and from under the hood on the passenger side.

got any ideas, or what i should check?

Assuming the car is under warranty, he should take it to the dealer. Usually insulation on the wiring around steering column gets worn out.

you could have a plastic bag stuck to your exhaust, but yea best bet is to get it checked out.
