Foul Smell
I have a 2000 Honda Accord 4 door , I think that somewhere in the car I
have a dead mouse. The worst smell is when you first get in it after it had been closed up in the garage all night. If you run the blower motor with heat or AC the smell does not seem to be coming from the vents so I think the smell is coming from inside of the car but I can't seem to find it.I have looked under the seats and under the dash with a mirror. I don't know how to remove the back seat so I have not looked under it. A couple of years ago I had a mouse nest inside of the heater fan so now when I park it in the garage we make sure that the recycle air button is lit so it blocks the outside vent. I thought maybe someone else has had the same problem and could suggest where I should look. Thanks |

You may have trapped water or decaying leaves somewhere. I had a bad smell in our 92 Accord and I sprayed under the hood where the air intake to the A/C is with a strong bacteria killing agent. Poof--no more smell. Smell is the sign of bacteria and you have to kill it not mask it with pot pourri or some such fragrance. One product sold by refrigeration repair places is called Ozium and it works terrific. Better actually I found than those bacteria killers sold in auto stores. Mike |

The hot outside air entering the system will also help kill bacteria and mold growning inside the system. Never let moist air--like on foggy and rainy days--enter the air conditioning system. On those type of days--set it to recirculate and cool inside air. Moist air will cause bacteria and mold growth. |
