 Subject: Horrible Odor from air vents

Message:
Anyone have any ideas about how I can get rid of the horrible odor that is coming out of my air vents? I have heard that it might be mildew on the evaporator. My evaporator is leaking and needs changed, is that part of the odor that i am smelling?
thanks

I have had occassions where a mouse would get in there and die. This causes a horrific odor that is impossible to get out without disassembling the heater compartment and scrubbing it out with bleach. Not a fun job and no way to do it easily.

It only smells when I turn my a/c on.. But as of right now my a/c is not cold, because freon is leaking out of the evaporator. So im looking to fix both problems shortly.
thanks

I did replace the evaporator core on my 96 Dodge Dakota last week(8-04-06). When I finally get to replaced the damaged evaporator core,I was surprise to find leaves and other stuff around the evaporator core. Moreover,if you evaporator core is leaking like mine was, you are going to have a oil like material in the bottom of the box which houses the evaporator core. High temps,plus whatever is in evaporator box may be causing the bad odor.
If you need pictures as to how to do this job,let me know I will will share them with you.
Good luck eveyone!

Hey Alonso thanks for the tips.. Im getting ready to go back to college and I have to get my a/c fixed, im looking to do it myself to save alot of money.. If possible I would love to see the pictures. I have never done this type of job, so it would be a big help if i could see what im getting myself into. Would it be best to email them to me?
Also did you have to use any special tools to make things easier?
thanks alot
