Smelly air from vents?

[electro]

My air stinks!

I think its just the A/C.


It smells man! Bad, like something undescribable? WHY?!

What do I do? Tell me I am at your mercy.

Okay, thanks!

buy a can of ozium....turn on vents full blast. Crack windows. spray ozium LIBERALLY into intake ducts in front of windshield by wiper blades.

enjoy clean air from vents


I recommend doing this weekly until the quality of air suits you. Then repeat monthly.

this also gets rid of mold, mildew, smoke smells and stale air stench

If it smells like a decaying corpse, chances are pretty good that a mouse or rat made itself at home in your air duct and died in there. You might need to take the ducts out and clean them out with hot soapy water.

get a flexible toilet brush, the kind with the twisted wire handle. pop your vents out and run that brush in the vent a few times. use some form of cleaner, lysol spray etc...

Open up the heater core box, and clean that nasty thing aswell.

Most of the time bad vent smell is Directly tied to the heater core being molded and funked up..

Use what ever cleaner and a nylon bristle brush to clean it as best as you can.
while in there, use a air compressor turned down to 50psi to gently blow the buildup out of the heater cores fins. Or use a good stong vacume to suck the buildup out.

Bewarned anything you knock out of the heatercore will blow up through the vents the first time you turn the blower on high.

ozium will work, but they make a disinfectant spray just for this situation. i forget the name of it, but explain it at the parts store and im sure they can point you in right direction. but as mentioned, your air system pulls its air from the base of your windshield, on the outside of vehicle. i never had to do this on my yukon so not 100% which side of truck the vent is on, but look around, im sure youll find it. you may have to pop the hood, im not sure. but turn your ac on full blast and spray the stuff in until its entering the vehicle(youll smell it, smells kinda like baby powder) and youre satisfied. then turn the ac off and let the stuff sit in there for a little while. repeat as needed.

I will check the heater core out. Sounds like a good idea to clean it! I figured it was something in the system needed a good cleaning.

I will also look into the ozium or anything related my parts man suggests. Get some in there after cleaning out the heater core should be a real finish.

Thanks guys for the insight. The voice to my right will be happy.

Thanks again.
