Re: Bad Smell
Chemical solutions are usually only a temporary solution since the bacteria will come back. Some vehicles are equipped with an afterblow function that helps to cure he problem.
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.

Re: Bad Smell
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!!

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?

Re: Bad Smell
I had the EXACT same problem about a year or so ago. I tried EVERYTHING. I even went to a professional and they ran some ozone cleaner crap through it.
Tried GM's ac cleaner for vents, everything.
It almost smelled like a dead animal. I took the console apart, dash, seats, everything, I still never did find it.
It finally went away. I know that isn't much help but just trying to save you some expense.

Literally through the winter and until this summer. You have no idea how many times I took the console apart looking for a dead animal. At one point, I was pretty sure it smelled a lot like wiring burning but couldn't do a damn thing about it.

Re: Bad Smell
When I was a kid (17) I had a 1962 Ford Sunliner convertable with a 406 tri power solid lifter engine (405 HP) 4 speed T10,411 posi 9 inch. dark blue with light blue interior . I would always party in it and would use the back seat as was the custom in those days to nail the local girls. any way after a while the car smelled like pizza,beer,and Pussy. try as I might I could never get the smell out . to this day when I smell pizza I get a woody .
