[Solved] Bad Smell

Topic starter

Hi, I have a 2014 Camry that has a bad smell emitting from the ac vents. the smell is present when the recycle air is turned off, when the ac or heater is on. I have changed both the cabin and air filters, the musky smell is still present. I even sprayed the cabin filter with cologne in hopes of getting a decent smell in the car. the smell stays as long as the ac or heater are turned on .

Thanks in advance.

🙂

Lysol did the trick. Thank You Very Much.

Roll down all the windows and open the doors.

Turn on your AC and heat full blast while the circulation button is off. 

Spray half a can of lysol to to the vents under the windshield vipers. Let the car run until the smell of lysol is gone. It will likely solve your issue.

I will give it a try.

Hope you dont have a dead rodent that made its way into the ducts. Your AC drain could also be blocked and you have stagnent water sitting in the heater/AC box. Find where the drain tube is and either suck it with a shop vac or probe a small wire up gently to clear a possible clog.

I checked the drain tube while running the AC. water drops from the drain tube.
