Ok... I've done some research and it sounds like my issue is the fusible link. However I have a couple things that don't add up...

So when this started... I was noticing the check engine light was flickering on and off repeatedly and then I noticed the radio was going on and off. Later that day I noticed the driver side telescoping steering wheel and the driver side power seat wouldn't work.

The problem was intermittent... when the check engine light stopped flickering the previously faulty electronics started to work.. This repeated on and off and seems like hitting the brakes hard made it come back or turning off the car and restarted reset everything.

Today I was driving and suddenly I got choked by this smell that I can't quite describe... Its almost like plastic burning, I got home started looking for the smell and I just couldn't locate it. I'm not sure where to look and I don't know I could afford the hit of just telling my mechanic to find the problem.

If this the fusible link going bad, I will be jumping for joy....

So finally, my question is.. If the fusible link fails do my symptoms occur?
