Gen 3 2023 Major electrical issue

[dmaustin]

Saying you don’t drive it often and very short trips (groceries) can be bad on batteries. If that voltage isn’t spot on all sorts of mess can happen. If that burning smell wasn’t happening, that would 100% be the fix IMO. Alternators that are messed up can cause a mess too. Does it smell electrical, or pure burning plastic? The plastic smell, me thinks is a harness. Fuse box should have some tripped fuses. The dealer should be able to figure something out.

Hopefully, just really pissed off. I really wanted to drive it this weekend.

I’m going with animal inside the truck.

this sucks! This shouldn’t be happening on basically a brand new truck!

Definitely hoping it’s not that.

I hope not. Rats chewed my tundra Trd pro main wire harness twice in one year. Repair was $1100 each time. Those bastards like the soy in the insulation!

I had a problem with rats when the city was doing sewer work and they moved in around my property. Got real bad then didnt see them as much and started seeing a feral cat prowling my property. There still rats around the neighborhood just not on my property anymore. Cats love rats!!!
