Weird smell coming from trunk WTF !!!

Well just a little bit ago I get in my car and there's is this awful smell, and on top of that my dynamic seats and pulse are not working. I pressed the pulse button and it just starts blinking a few times and then shuts off. The dynamic button stays lit up but does not work. I've searched and found maybe it's just a fuse in the trunk because that's where the smell is the strongest, my check valve failed causing the pump to continuously work and melted a hose maybe that's why it stinks so much I don't know anyone please help and thank you in advance

No they don't work at all. I was driving and took a sharp turn and nothing but the pulse button just starts blinking and turns off, and the smell is really bad whatever it is I don't know if it's a blown fuse or melted rubber

Ok, let's eliminate the obvious. Have you had any troubles with the wife/girlfriend? Do you remember transporting anything that took you to a body of water, or pre-dug hole?

LMAO! Ok, just scrub the effected area with bleach. Avoid luminal and CSI vehicles at all cost. Needed that this morning! Thanks!
