so i was drivng down the highway the other day and all of a sudden a crap load of smoke came from under the glove box area. i pulled over and the car shut down on its own. i got out popped the hood cuz i thought thats where it was coming from but it wasnt. i looked inside ,the smell came from the inside under the glove box. i didnt know what to do.the car wouldnt start back up. it wanted to crank over but just didnt. so i plugged in my accesport for the hell of it and it wouldnt even turn on. so any idea what could be wrong. 02 wrx

 

What are your mods? Do you have an aftermarket downpipe? My first thought was that it could be the small black rubber AC drain hose touching the downpipe and melting. Pop the hood and check near the downpipe, the hose comes out the firewall. That happened to a buddy of mine, smoke started pouring through the AC.

As for the car not starting....dead battery? Does it turn over? Are your lights working

I dunno, good luck!

 

Was the motor physiclly turning over? What color smoke was it, was there a certain smell to it. How does your oil and coolant look(level and condition). Look at your accessory belts to see if they siezed up. Was the car making any noises or shaking before it seized up(days in advance or just before).
