Hot smell driver side

[Flighht2k]

My wife noticed a hot smell on the driver side. It's more noticeable inside than out. It's definitely a hot smell and nothing burning. Any ideas? It's an 05 sr5.

Never smelled a hot stove or when your wife is using a blow dryer?

No, no it doesn't smell like anything burning.
Like I said. It smells like something hot in the driver seat. It's really strange.

Yeah, the stove smells like old food getting cooked/burned again and the blow dryer smells like burnt hair and hair products as they heat up. Hot doesn't smell. Heated things can smell.

do you have heated seats? maybe they are on? maybe there's a short?

No heated seats. The smell is gone and hasn't returned so I'm not going to worry about it
