The air coming from my vents stinks like mildew really bad. [sm=smiley11.gif] I was gonna turn the fan on full blast and spray some Lysol or Oust into the air inlet. Problem is, I can't find where the air is pulled into the fan system? Anyone know?

Sorry but I don't,
but I have a suggestion when you get teh smell out how to keep it from getting bad. Whenyou use the AC, turn it off when you get close to your destination and blast the fans to get the AC air out of the vents and helps dry out any moisture that got in there due to the AC. Also sometimes I will turn the temp to the center. I was having that problem in one of my cars and someone told me that. I do it most of the time and haven't had the stink mildew problem.

 

Yeah, I already do that, but the previous owner didn't, so it is pretty smelly! I think that the inlet vent might be under the dash board somewhere. I don't think that it would be under the hood because the air in there would be too hot.

 

some times they are under the dash or under the seats... my moms old van was that way.

 

Spray ozium into the vents this will help a little or replace the tubes but that is a real pain, dry them after using A/C just turn it on vent.

 

on the 99 ranger it is on the passenger side by the windshield wiper fluid spray nozzle out side of truck must be on normal ac not max and autozone has a spray to rid the smell
