Burning Smell?

Help!!!
Today after driving my car and coming to a stop sign, I noticed a smell of electrical type burning. The smell is coming from outside the car, as i had the windows down. It has done it both times I have driven the car today, and I have not had time to check it out. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks James

i dont think there is an easy answer. grab a voltmeter/multimeter and start troubleshooting under the hood and under the dash. check all fuses. good luck

thanks for the reply.
I checked around today after driving the car, and the smell is coming from the back brakes. Is this good? I just put the damn things on about 1 month ago.
