Narrative:
After landing, both our fuel quantity and fuel lights came on full intensity. A short time later, we started to smell something electrical burning. It was a short distance to our gate (1000 ft), so we went right in to the gate, shut down the engines, performed the emergency checklist and notified the flight attendants. As soon as we shut down the engines the burning smell stopped and passenger deplaned through the rear cabin door. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the only thing abnormal was a cockpit lighting circuit breaker was tripped but the cause is unknown. The reporter said maintenance has not advised the crew of the cause and the corrective maintenance action.
