Why do I smell burning when I use my heater?
I have started to smell burning when I put the heater on my Renault Grand Scenic 2005. The heater only works on three and four. Do you have any idea of what it could be and what it may cost?

The heater motor is burning out and the burning smell is burning. Do not used the heater at all until the heater motor as well as the fan speed resistor are replaced. It will cost hundreds not thousands. Might involve quite a lot of dismantling to replace the heater motor.
