I got the AC stink spray - where are the intake vents?

[ike301]

Anyone know where all the cabin AC/fan intakes are? are there any? (i.e. under the seats, near the feet, etc?)

meaning where all the recirculation intake openings where i can spray the AC / fan deordorizing spray into when i turn on the recirculation mode.

some guys have said i could have bacterica infested filter and intake tubes. going to try and change the filter and then spray down the tubes. or i may just spray the filter first before buying on.


help on this related topic, too (see more recent posts on that thread):

I think there are 3 intakes. Look at the pics below.
Two are under front seats. The other is behind the rear passenger vents.

Thanks again, bud. No disrespect to you Tito in anyway, but can anyone else confirm this? I just want to disinfect this damn car in one shot, if you know what i mean? smells like gym socks!

Thanks again, Tito, your help is GREATLY appreciated.

I didn't check, but I thought air comes out of the vents under the seats to help heat/cool the rear. I suppose it would be easy enough to test...

yeah, not that you mention it. those could be the outflow vents and not the intake recirculation ones....

anyone else have comments? i didnt drive to work today.

Ike, in my opin ya'll beating this topic to death;
change the freaking microfilter, spray some stuff in
the filter area and any/all vents you can find, and
go drive the sumbitch for a couple hours Without
Auto being on: let some regular, non-A/C, Outside air circ.
through the system. It's cool enough in Frisco area
to spend an hour without A/C...

If if still smells like socks after that, ya'll gotta a prob.

Watch out bud. There no such place as Frisco.

thanks, mom.

agreed. if you read above, that's what i was trying to get at. 1 poster put the vent diagram. poster 2 said those are probably the outflow pipes, which i agreed to. that leaves the initial question: i'm trying to locate the intake (if any) INSIDE the cabin. can you offer any info on that, and just that?

You guys are freaking unbelieveable.

yeah, didnt think so.
