There has been an electrical burning smell in my 01 base boxster lately and couldn't really pinpoint it and thought that it was the stereo as there have been a couple of stereo pro's in there lately that commented on the smell as well. I had trouble tracking it down by "following my nose" so I decided to have a look at the fuse box today to see if any fuses had blown... Much to my surprise there was a 30amp fuse where a 25amp fuse should be in the fuel pump position (C4 I believe), I immediately switched it out and have no idea how that had happened as I know how dangerous that could be.
I thought that this could also explain the strange fuel psi readings I have been getting as of late. Can anyone speculate at potential damage of this and where I should start looking for burning wires or damaged components?
