Is there an easy way to access the evaporator to spray it with bleach water and rinse? The stench is getting bad from the A/C

I had this issue last year in my 2003. Just spray some lysol at the cowl intake (base of the outside of the windshield) while running the A/C. Don't over do it. I think maybe I hit it with 3 or 4 5-second blasts. Give it a day or two and if you still have the smell repeat it again.

Thanks detroit doc, I bought some lysol last night that I could tolerate the scent. Started blasting the way you suggested this morning, will do it a few more times. Now the inside smells like "morning breeze"

can you take a pic of where you spray? i hate the smell of mine too, but have no idea where to spray? i think it is the spot right under where the windshield meets that plastic between hood and windshield, and it is on the passenger front??

May i ask what lysol is?

open the hood, on the passenger side there is a long vent, but only the right half is actually open. Spray there. I chose to spray the vent hidden by a closed hood, in case the lysol discolored the black plastic. Make sure your AC is on, fan speed is 3 or 4. You will feel air being pulled in at the vent. Don't use max AC, because that won't draw outside air but recirculate cabin air.

that disenfectant spray... like clorox spary...

I take it no lysol in the UK? It is a disenfecting spray in arosol can. Kill germs, mold and mildew. Claims to kill the flu virus, BUT DON'T DRINK IT!!!
