When I am driving, the car gets heated pretty fast. Everything seems fine but the light keeps turning on. What could be the problem? It starts to smell like burnt rubber when that happens too. Also I plugged something into the lighter socket, I used to plug my phone charger and it worked fine but when I plugged this adapter it sparked and the radio stopped working. The socket doesnt work anymore either. Coould that just be a fuse problem?

Fuse blown

as far as the motor, it sounds like you are driving it hot. Low coolant level or thermostat may be the cause but you may have damaged the head gaskets from driving

The radio thing is for sure a fuse. Happened to mine too. I still cant plug anything to the socket but if you replace. It then then everything should turn back on.
