Bad smelling air through vents.

Which won't solve the problem the OP has. Bleach or no.

Here's my two for you: f*ck off.

Perhaps you've been providing free rent to a family of mice for two years. They left some presents and even some of their loved ones.

Happened when you performed a car wash and the in coming air vent was set to allow outside air into vehicle!

To repair you will have to remove, thoroughly clean out by hand (use Lysol lemon fresh for best results!) and re-install the plastic air vents under the dash.

The next time you wash your vehicle -- remember to close the vents!

Absolute garbage.

Water cannot get inside vehicle thru air vents.

Unless the vehicle is submerged.

It's a pre 85 chrysler product not a gm or a ford numb nuts!

usually true, but I once had a '67 Dart that had collected enough pine needles in the air intake to allow water in the passenger compartment when it rained - the cowl drains were completely full. Was fun to clean out too, as the only access to that area was through the little vent doors in the HVAC box - you can *just* reach your hand up in there to grab a handful of pine needles :)

So, what's your point. I've owned pre 85 Chrysler products. Never had an issue with water getting in through the air vents unless the vehicle was flooded.

I agree that could happen, but pine needles aren't an issue where I live.

Even a Ferd or Cheby could get plugged.

This could def be the case... but the smell would not go away after a while, it would get worse.

If it smells sweet (like coolant) it could be the heater core. You usually smell it initially, but after time you either get used to it and don't notice it anymore, or it leaks so slowly that the initial smell was the result of sitting for an extended perios of time.

Sometimes the pump could be at fault... if it smells like burning, but not like a mouse is on fire, it could be the pump or a belt.

Oh don't you just hate it when that happens! My cat doesn't know what to do in those situations!
