REPLACED THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND SAW NO SIGNS OF WETNESS. NO WATER LAYING UNDER COWL. CAN WATER BUILD UP IN AIR CONDITIONING
BE CAUSUNG THIS ODOR? WHERE IS THE DRAIN LOCATED? THE SMELL IS SEVERE EVEN WITHOUT DRIVING THE CAR.

Have the A/C condenser coils cleaned and an afterblow module installed at your local dealer. This will take care of the odor.
