It was at full temp and I was revving it, it should have kicked in weeks ago ...
Well apparently the fan motor has developed a short circuit. Probably the coil wiring inside the fan motor has short circuited. The burning plastic is probably the smell from the fan motor overheating. Next time, start up the car, let it get hot, so that the fan should already have kicked in, even better if you smell the burning plastic again, at that moment, try to find a hot spot with your fingers. Should be the fan motor getting hot?? But be aware, if it suddenly starts to spin, don't lose your fingertips.
If no hot plastic enclosed items are found, then it is mystery. If a hot items is found -->> replace that -->> fixed.
