Or if it is parked outside for an extended period, something could have crawled in there and died. eewww.

 

One time, one of my friends' snake had escaped inside the car. Never found that it except a couple of weeks later the car started wreaking like something had died in there...

Maybe it was someones idea of a sick joke?
that, or mold.

 

It very well could be something dead in your ducts. I have pulled old mice out of some older cars that I have restored. By then they didnt smell but I can imagine that they did at one time.

Whats probably happening is the stench builds up when the AC is not being used then when turned on you get a blast of it till its aired out. But the cycle keeps going on whenever you turn it off.


Mike!

 

it is probably your condenser, when it gets dust, mold, ****, or other stuff in it, it makes your ac really smell bad, mine does too. i saw on tv there is some product you can put in there and it foams up and cleans it out, but i dont have any other info about it.

 

MAYBE THERE IS DOG **** STUCK IN YOUR A/C CONDENSOR

 

DONT FORGET A/C STANDS FOR AIR CONDITIONING..NOT APPEARANCE AND COSMETICS...(wrong forum budy)

LOL that **** made me laugh for some reason. all caps is funny **** sometimes.

 

I don't know what kind of car you have but my S2000 has an a/c micron filter. I changed that recently and spray lysol thru my ducts with the fan all the way on.

 

I don't know anything when it comes to A/C, so what is a condensor and where is it located? anyone have a link to a picture or a diagram?

I don't have a micron cabin air filter, only 99+ Preludes have them. I have a 98.

 

Same happened to my friend's integra. Smelled like a combo of bad breath/a bit of ****. I just thought maybe it was the time he went through a puddle lake and hydrolocked his motor.

in my best bob saget voice

"there's **** everywhere there's **** on the floor there's **** on the walls, there's **** everywhere!"

 

UPDATE

Well, I think its mildew and mold build up due to condensation over time. I ALWAYS had my "recirculate" button on, so I think the air didn't have anywhere to go, so condensation built up which lead to mildew and mold.

I put my a/c on full blast and sprayed Lysol into the ducts under the windshield wipers. It helped a Little bit, but is still there! Someone HELP!!!

 

Make sure that you set the vents to open and turn off the AC a mile or two before you reach your destination. That should "purge" the system.

It worked for my car. It used to smell a bit funky, but after a month or two of doing that, it's stopped.

Yea, I remember seeing a demo of it on Two Guys Garage or something...

It was an aerosol can with a long thin tube that you snake up the condensation drain pipe, and it completely fills the evaporator chamber up with foam. Anyone know the name of this product??
