mold milldew smell

got a smell coming out of the vent when the air is on is there something i can spray in the outside air vent to kill it.

Maybe some heavy duty doses of Lysol-type spray?

I'd be sure the evaporator housing is draining properly as step 1 though.

[pascooter94]

yes draining well

Spray a little Lysol through the induction by the windshield, and put your air on so it draws out side air. Then to prevent it from happening again, shut your air off about 5 minutes before you shut your car off, and then the evaporator will warm up, and the water will dry up, and not get mildew in the future.

At one time, I think it was chrysler that had a spray can of HVAC smelly remover that was the bomb. Basically used the same as above.

If you have a cab filter you may want to change that as well but they cost more then the one for the motor!!

I worked for chrysler for 8 years and they use to have a spray. I know we used it with very little success. To properly clean an evap you have to actually buy a foam cleaner that fills up the evap box and then it will drain out the drain tube. If you still get the smell the only way not to get it, is replace the evap.

Bleach works very well, but then you have to suffer with the smell of the bleach.

Other options are Febreeze (cheap) and Atmosklear (more expensive)
