    I recently smelled a burning smell while driving my truck and ID'ed it to be a thick foil wrapped wire in my passenger side wheel well, it came loose and melted against the exhaust manifold. Anybody have an idea of what this wire is for?

    The only wire near there in mine goes to the oxygen sensor and it doesn't have the insulation wrapped on it. Can you trace it? Should be able to see it easy from the top if you pop the hood. Maybe something to do with the auto trans?
