Hey everybody hoping someone out there has heard of this. Only when i turn on my heat/not a/c.. after about two min it omits a foul oder, like fart bomb if u ever seen one a child, or a dead animal or rotton eggs. i brought it to the dealer and they looked in where the cabin air filter is, and found nothing, also had them look where the blower motor is, and nothing.

What do you think, im open to any ideas guys the smell is to much to dear.

thanx

Hi there,

something will have crawled up into the vent system, you would be surprised how often this happens, also you can get mold and mildew building up in the system and this can smell real bad, there are preparations for cleaning this out.
