Quick question? Well knowing me it will be long but i fully intended to make it quick before i started typing!

I just recently redid my winsheild seal. The track was very rusty had to do it and like i said above im cheap so i did it myself went through without a problem outside of scrapping and sanding down all the rust in the track!
cost me 6 dollars for the tube of poly and i had sand paper left over from the paint job i just did!

a tad bit cam trhough in one spot front right passanger side (top right)
so that would explain a little bit of the smell?

but two days ago i figured out that i have been a complete idiot ever since i first got this truck i think im going on 5 weeks now i put in a referbed digital dash console that is great i only paid 60 dollars for and its covered for life!
when i was doing that i pulled my dash around the steering wheel out including the hvac controls ( 94 S10 blazer tahoe lt) when i pulled them out it was really tight i mean i had to pull with alot of force on the vacum lines connecting to it to give me some room to squeeze my hand in there!

anyways after that i put everything back together and it works like a dream (the dash that is) the hvac control knob on the right (chooses ac vent defrost and off) wouldnt slide down into the off position and i assumed i messed it up and thought it was off i just meessed it up well two days ago i got frustrated playing with it and banged it down with alot of force and it went into off and made that noise vacum letting go! so that was cool that i was driving around in my truck for id say 3-4 weeks with the ac that doesnt work in the first place on max ac!

so now im running the same but the truck is letting off this terrible smell almost like burning plastic??

sorta smells like its coming from the underbody but i got under it and smelled everything same with compartment double checked no vac lines or electrical where touching and it seems good but im still smelling that smell ?

only thing i could think of is some of the old sealant from the windsheild fell into that little vent looking thingy right there below the winsheild (on the outside) i know some did but i didnt think it would make that big of a stink??

Any Ideas!! ??

Sorry for it being so long i feel if i include the whole story then your better prepaired to assist.
