Some areas are more prone to this problem. Some vehicle are also more prone.




Makes sense. All the moisture off the gulf here would make anything sour.

Went out this am and sprayed the outside air vents with vinegar water and Lysol mixed with the AC on high. I then drove downtown to give it a little time to circulate. By the time I returned home, it smelled sour...but a sweet sour. Not sure what to do at this point. Guess I get the GM stuff and flush it through. DAMN!!:mad:

I don't even smoke. I was wondering how hard it might be to pull the painted part off to better expose the outside vents, or if it would even be worth the trouble?

I smoke an average of four cigars per day in mine. Windows open whether 20 or 95 deg fahr. Smells like a dream in there. Kills all the skeeters and flies. MMMMhhhh, nicoteen.

Somehow I knew IRA was a stoner.:giggling:

I can't believe Lysol didn't help, that was what I was going to suggest.

Is it that wet dog type of AC smell?

Yeah, it was. I had my wife go to Wally World with me the other day and we browsed the douche section for sented kinds of douche. I found one I thought wouldn't offend me too bad if it didn't work. Well, low and behold it worked! I had to use 2 of them but I did as someone had insisted and ran it on high, then I added one douche to each of the outside vents. I let it run for about 15 min, then shut it off. The next Am, the AC had no smell at all. I joked about it at work on how I had to "douche" my "Hummer", (which seemed ironic) , but bottom line....it worked for now.......Jamie
