the fan or blower is still running strong. just has a nasty smell when you first turn it on. i have so far removed the kick panel and the glove box. it got dark out so i didnt have time to look how to remove the fan box. anyone know exactly how to do this?

use Ozium. it kills germs and bacteria. start by warming up car then turn on heater and recirculate to help dry out moisture. the switch to A/C and keep recirculating. then spray Ozium in to intakes on floor by firewall.

this procedure will remove moisture and bacteria. to keep the smell from returning,, run heater occasianally during summer months to prevent moisture from building up.

i have some chemicals at work that fix that.

find a shop that does ac, and sells bg chemicals, and have them run frigi fresh through the ac system. it should take care of it.
