hey just wondering where this smell is coming from. smells like nasty wet clothes. could in be mildew? but where is it? i have checked that crx do not have cabin filters, do you guys think maybe it is from the blower???

 

yup,had to replace my blower last winter(need heat ) and the stuff i found in the vent and the blower itself was gross.my suggestion wear a mask and get a air tool to blow that **** out

 

there is also products you can buy that you spray or pour into fresh air pickup that kill all the mold and mildew and work wonders. I used it, cant remember which brand, and it worked exceptionally well. I am about due for round 2 of it. If I find the stuff, I will let ya know. Many variations out there though.

cheers

Try spraying the vents in front of your windshield and inside with Lysol

 

You may have a mouse nest and all the string, lint, paper, acorns etc. trap water. Is your blower making a whirring sound yet? I have had this happen multiple times in my 89 Civic, Loyale and 98 Impreza. The systems are pretty much the same. The moisture will settle in low spots. In the Loyale the birdseed and acorns were packed so tight that I took out chunks with tongs. It looked like granola bars. That was down behind the radio, not near the blower. The blower ends up looking like cotton candy with all the crap. Get in there with rubber gloves, a vacuumn, hair dryer and mask and Lysol like the other said.

 

thanks for all the info, i am gonna try to take the blower out and see what is going on. yeah, if you know the name of that product let me know, thanks again for everyone's comment.

 

hey correct me if i am wrong, the blower is behind the glove box in a crx?

 

that is where it was in a 89 Civic. take a droplight, stubby phillips head and the other listed stuff. do not have your face under it.

 

I had that stink smell in my old '90 Accord; Lysol into the vents worked well. Bleach would probably work better though.

 

Just a FYI, inhaling mildew and or molds can cause fungal infection in mouth and lungs. Nasty man!!!
