I have an 05 with the hemi but have a problem with the a/c. When the fan is first turned on there is a foul smell coming from the vents.Something like a moldy smell is the best that I can describe it.It slowly dissapates after 5 minutes or so. Can anyone tell me where the intake is so that I might spray some lysol or something to freshen it up or is there a filter somewhere that I can replace to get rid of the smell. Thanks for any help.

 

Some people say when you are running the AC, before you get to your destination you should leave the fan blower on but turn off the AC compressor so the fan will dry out the vents and such so they will not be damp and promote mold and mildew growth.

Some guy also say you can get some Lysol air spray and turn on the AC fan and spray it by the cowl vents by the top of the hood and bottom of the windshield and let it get sucked in to help kill everything off.

 

Thanks for the replies I will try both of them

 

I always turn my compressor off a few min from my destination.
You might also make sure that the evap drain in the firewall is open and not clogged.

 

Thanks I srarted to do that along with the spray and already I notice a difference. Appreciate the help
