rich11grav Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Has anyone else had that musty smell when turning on the a/c. I tried replacing the air filter and that didnt help, I also tried spraying fabreeze into the air intake by the windshield and that only covered up the odor for a short while. Anyone with any ideas to help. :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 What about in the lines? Do you live in high humdity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Generally the odor comes from moldy debris in the plenum. Junk that falls on the cowl area gets sucked into the plenum via the fresh air intake. If it gets wet and begins to decay, you will get a funky odor. Lysol can sometimes help. Spray it into the freah air intake at the trailing edge of the hood in front of the passenger (on fresh air mode.) Put the system on recirculate and spray it into the air intake just above the passenger floorboard. In general, keeping the fresh air intake open will help dry it out. Try not to park under trees that drop a lot of pollen, seeds, etc. Ask the service advisor if they can do anything for you on the issue. Not really warrantable, but they might try to help you out.

500 h.o. Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I live in the Northeast so its not humid and I have no visible debris near the intakes. I've got the same issue and it has smelled since we bought it. It's a 2 month old 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
