Has anyone experience a slighly foul, actually not foul but a chemical smelling odor when you switch your AC on or off. When it is off there is no smell but regular air, when you turn on the AC, during the period when it cools, there is the smell, but when it reaches its peak there is no smell, what is this?

 

a dead mouse in the vent for the air????

 

but if it is a dead mouse then the air should come out foul constantly isn't it?it only comes out foul when cooling orgoing back to room temp.how can i access this vent for the air? the dealer technicians say it might be an AC filter that needs replacement.

 

o ok i miss read your post sorry, i thought you said all the time. Are you using the fresh air button or the recyle button??

 

i tested using both fresh and recycle. both gives out a not so foul but a chemical like smell, i can't describe it. and only when it cools up or warms back to normal temp (AC on and off). this is weird.

 

Is it musky? Hit recycle and spray some antimicrobial febreze in there

 

shoot, could be something real serious...keep it off for a while until you figure out the problem.

 

does freon have a smell? how do i get access to glove box filter and vent?

 

Here are the pages pulled out of my owners manual... i am pretty sure your removal is the same.

 

wow. thanks for the pics. i really appreciate it. i'll try to do it this weekend and let you guys know the outcome
