I have smelly odor in my car when I have open air circulation. Is there any solution to solve my problem. I have checked the cabin filter. It doesnt smell.

Hi there,

This is mold and mildew growing inn the vents, firstly you need to ensure that the A/C drains are clear and running free, then there is a commercial disinfectant that you can used designed for the A/C system to combat this problem, check your local parts store, they should carry it.

Or get some Listerine  and spray a generous amount in each intake. It kills the mildew and the funky smell. Use the old school yellow stuff, the kind without any sugar in it.
