Bad smelling air through vents.

[N8N]

Nobody has proven it WON'T work.

It's not going to get where the mold/mildew/whatever is growing, as it will drain out the drain holes in the sheetmetal before ever entering the HVAC box. QED.

It is step #1 of a multi-part procedure:

Step #2 and beyond is repeating what has already been posted:

i.e.
*Install new Cabin Air Filter if there is one.

*While blower motor is on high, spray Lysol mist into air intake that Cabin Air Filter feeds.

*Find any air input ducts _INSIDE_ the vehicle, and spray Lysol mist into them with blower motor running at full speed.

END

None of this exonerates any of you from being nitwits.

OK, where did you ever post the above procedure? (which makes a hell of a lot more sense than pouring bleach into the cowl intake) Time to check you're meds, Larry, you're slipping into "semi-coherent ranting asshole" mode again.

HINT: nobody on earth give's a flying **** what you do and don't *get* especially me.

Ehm, no I am correct. I have intentionally used a garden hose in the past to flood the air intake under the front windscreen, and indeed the water egresses through a hole inder the door frame.

Which won't solve the problem the OP has. Bleach or no.

So I have two words for you, but they can't be repeated in polite public. The two alternative words that -can- be repeated in polite public are:

drop
dead

Here's my two for you:
****
off.

Here assfucker, I am doing an experiment JUST FOR YOU.
Right this minute, I am hooking up my garden host and will FLOOD the air vents under my windshield. I'll be back in a minute to tell you where the water egresses the vehicle....

Gee, whiz, Glickman, are you letting your other personalities each type their own answers to my message?

Just wondering.

Well fuckstick, I just completed putting 10 GALLONS OF WATER INTO MY AIR INTAKE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. Where did it come out?

Not a single drop into the passenger compartment, ALL under the car behind the front wheel wells.

So you ignorant moron, I suggest you SHUTTHEFUCKUP and go back to the peanut gallery before you open your stupid mouth again in the future and only embarrass yourself in front of the entire planet.

Wow, Glickman. Too bad you didn't use some of that water to bathe instead.

Hey, Glickman,
Do this bit while you're in the car. You'll come out smelling better.

I have an 84 Chrysler New Yorker and when I turn the air on, the air has a bad smell coming through the vents for the first few minutes then it goes away. Now I did have the car setting up for a while (almost 2 years) and drove it very seldom during this period. So is there something that builds up in the duct lines when you let a car sit up?

Happened when you performed a car wash and the in coming air vent was set to allow outside air into vehicle!

Is there anything I can do to clean it out?

To repair you will have to remove, thoroughly clean out by hand (use Lysol lemon fresh for best results!) and re-install the plastic air vents under the dash.

The next time you wash your vehicle -- remember to close the vents!

Absolute garbage.

Water cannot get inside vehicle thru air vents.

Unless the vehicle is submerged.

Absolute garbage.

It's a pre 85 chrysler product not a gm or a ford numb nuts!

usually true, but I once had a '67 Dart that had collected enough pine needles in the air intake to allow water in the passenger compartment when it rained - the cowl drains were completely full. Was fun to clean out too, as the only access to that area was through the little vent doors in the HVAC box - you can *just* reach your hand up in there to grab a handful of pine needles

So, what's your point. I've owned pre 85 Chrysler products. Never had an issue with water getting in through the air vents unless the vehicle was flooded.

I agree that could happen, but pine needles aren't an issue where I live.

Even a Ferd or Cheby could get plugged.
