Heater problem
1998 Nissan Altima 4 cyl Automatic 102, 00 miles

My car was flooded 12/12/2009 in the rains here in New Orleans. It was repaired (insurance did not total it) When I turn on the heater I notice a moldy smell. When I select the foot warmer mode. Is there a filter or something that should have been changed to eliminale this. Seats were pulled, carpet was shampooed, padding replaced. All fluids changed. Trunk cleaned.(After the rain when I got in the car, the seats were wet._

Hi there,

this is mold and mildew in the heater ducts, you can purchase a dedicated anti fungal spray to deal with this, also have the A/C drain tube check to see if it is blocked.
