Bad Smell

[jmsspratlin]

I have noticed over the course of the last month that the air conditioner smells bad. I have tried everything from smelly things from Kirklands, to no rolling the windows down, recirculating the cabin air, and spraying cologne. I do know that the moisture builds up inside the air ducts and if you do no run the regular air through them after the cold air moisture has hit, then mildew can form. I have done this, but still I have the problem. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you get rid of it? Thanks in advance.....Jamie

Seriously now, this works or are you f@#king with me? At this point I'm about ready to try anything. If your serious, I'm trying it, but I don't want to make matters worse. Thanks....Jamie

Hope you are just talking about trying what was done to the vent.

Same thing happened to me about a year ago. I finally looked under the hood and found where some smarta$$ had laid a dead Prius across my exhaust manifold...
Seriousy, about 2 years ago I brought my mother's MB 300 home to clean up. Mom smokes like a chimney (75 years old) and that freakin' thing smelled like a crematorium---the car not mom. Also had some moldy smoky smell coming from the vents. I sprayed Ozium freshener, regular scent, (available @ Wally World, etc...love this stuff) in the vent openings outside at the cowl and then followed up with some GM Odor Eliminator (PN 12378554) sprayed in the same vents. Keep the air on @ full HI during the process. Repeat for a couple of days and it usually takes care of the problem.

Good News Jamie. I can't believe you did it and I can't believe it worked.

Thanks man. Very useful. I think I will take it to the Hummer Dealer in Mobile and ask that they fix it since it still under warranty. I don't believe it should be money outta my pocket since the vehicle isn't that old. Thanks....jamie
