Stinch from A/C

[rudy_t2004]

I have a 2000 4Runner and for some reason or another when I turn on the A/C it will smell like normal, and when I'm driving it will just stink up like PI$$. It just does it sometimes, but enough to where when I have family over and want to take them places, it will stink.

I took the blower off today and found nothing in it. Can anyone help me (the NEWB).

Thanks,
Rudy

It's mildew in your a/c system. One recommendation that works sometimes is that you turn off the a/c with the fan blowing right before you shut down. This supposedly doesn't allow mildew to grow but I do, on occassion, still have the stinky a/c.

it will just stink up like PI$$.

haha when i was in college, some of my buddies when they got drunk would go around pissing in peoples air intakes right under the windshields so when you turned on the air it, of course, would smell like piss!! maybe they got you?

cruel joke if you ever get bored and drunk(in college)

I dont know if this would help in this situation but to keep my camelback from anything growing I put a cap of bleach diluted w/ a liter of water.
Cleans it up real good.
