Some Hummer H3 owners report experiencing starting issues after water ingress into the dashboard, accompanied by a burning wire smell. These electrical problems can arise from water exposure, potentially affecting the vehicle's starting mechanism and leading to symptoms such as the engine cranking without starting. The burning wire smell may indicate a faulty wire or electrical component that has been compromised, posing safety hazards if left unaddressed. It is crucial for owners to seek professional inspection from qualified mechanics to diagnose and resolve these electrical faults effectively. Additionally, addressing any water leaks or ingress points during regular maintenance can help prevent similar issues in the future.
