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
Somehow I knew IRA was a stoner.
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
