Burning odor

I have a 2016 350 6.2L chassis cab with 35k miles. Recently I started smelling a electrical burning odor come from the wheel wells. The odor comes and goes so i haven’t been able to pin point it. Has anyone else had this problem or know where to start looking

My "burning" odor was rear wheel seals leaking. Ford replaced both sides twice under warranty and extended warranty and I had an independent shop replace them the last time. that set seems to be holding.
