Stench/Smell from A/C vents

AddictedUSAF · 2012-10-01T17:07:38+00:00

Tried searching this, could not come up with anything. My wife's 4runner has developed a annoying smell from the a/c system the car is only a 1 year old I would not think the cabin air filter would need to be changed yet. So what else do you guys think could be causing the smell? Never had this issue with any of my vehicles. Thanks, Cody:thumb3:

I had a similar problem. I used incontinance washing / cleaning spray. I sprayed front floor board ares while recirculate AC was on. I sprayed cabin filter area and outside the vehicle while using fresh air, not recirc. a couple times in an hour and all is good. i used to smoke and it removed that smell also.
good luck
