I tried my high beams for the first time in a long time and clicked the lever, but they didn't stay on. Is there an easy fix for that?
When my car idles, the cabin fills with a burning smell. It'* not all the time though. Could it be the tensioner pulley is letting the belt slip? There isn't any squealing noise.. I think it is more noticable when it'* damp outside.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but my car recently had a sort of "burning spell" going on. I think it smelled like burning plastic. However, the problem went from minor to severe in a matter of days (it also ended up making LOTS of noise), so it may not be what you have.
We tracked it down to being the clutch plate/pulley on the A/C compressor. I ended up having to get a new compressor.
Sorry if that'* not very clear, I'm not a huge car guy.
