Bad smell from A/C
I have a 2007 Ram 1500 Lariame and just here in the last couple of days I have been getting a strong vinegar like smell when I turn my A/C on. Anyone else have this issue? and if I waste my time going to the dealer are they going to tell me they cant duplicate it.
Not sure if it mattes but it only has 8500 miles on it..

I have been told that it could the cabin filter, but I dont know if these trucks have them. There is a TSB about A/C smell and they have to clean the whole A/C system. I dont know if the dealer would want to do that. If you are armed with information (print the TSB and take it with you) then I guess they have no choice.

Mine has smell as well, but not strong like vinegar. The smell I am getting is more of abreakin smell of the compressor. My truck has 1600 miles on it and I get the smell a couple of times throughout the day, it is not constant. If your is constant, you might have a problem. I wouldn't even know where to begin with a vinegar smell except maybe a cat crawling up under your hood and died. Just a thought, happened to me once. LOL....

nope no cat....lol..... i checked
this only started a couple of days ago and I swear I saw some threads about it before. But the febreeze might be a good idea to try.
Just dont want the hassle of wasting time at the dealer. In my opinion all these Dodge Service departments are crap, unless the part is physically hanging off they can never duplicate an issue.

Mine also smells like cat urine. My wife's also (07 Camry), what the deuce?

well i can see what everyone is elduing to, however this isnt a cat or cat urine smell... its kind of hard to describe.
but the truck is kept in the garage at night and during the day I am in it most of the time, an animal would have a hard time getting to the spot to leave an odorous item and me not knowing about it.
