The boss/wife is complaining the A/C smells like an old refer. Has anyone else noticed? I though I'd spray some oust in the air vents and see if it helps. Suggestions? thanks |

An auto air conditioning shop can shoot some kind of cleaning foam solution into the evaporator coil housing to clean the crud out of there. There may be a kit to do it yourself, I don't know. |

Plain Lysol in the air vents and then run them dry. Probably mold in there. When I picked up my 05 the salesman told me not to run the AC on recirc all the time as this can speed up the creation of condensation in the vents. |

Edit: never mind, I was going to suggest the exact same thing Saxxdogg said. |

Thanks for the ideas... I'll try the lysol and have her change how she uses it and see if that doesn't help any... |

I had a similar problem right before my ac clutch went out. It also would stop blowing cold air for about 20 minutes at a time. Replacing the AC cluch solved the problem for me. |

Vents full of trail dust... My XJ is really bad, some day I will have to take all the ducts apart to clean them out. |

Isn't there a TSB for this where they pour baking soda into your air vents? |

Make sure you use lots of peanut butter to catch the baking soda when it comes flying out of the vents... |

I do the same thing.  I also put a filter on my outside air to keep dust from building up on the evap.

Tried the PB but now the squirrls are back...was I supposed to leave it in the events or take it out? I cranked the air on and sprayed the vents and that seemed to help a lot. Thanks guys |
