heater smells BAD!
heater smells BAD!
so today i went out for a drive and turned the heater on its been raining for a few day right now and when i turned the heater on it smelled bad like poop and vomit in one combo it was bad im wondering what this could be
thanks for the info i turned the heater on today it was fine,but when i got into the car today i had hella moisture in side of my car like it was sweating which is odd,maybe it was the window with the broken regulator and its was building up condensation or something gross this car is just geting hella odd by the days

pop the hood, find the heater hoses, look below that you'll see the harness going thru the firewall, look below that and you'll find the evaporator drain tube.

also look for water coming into the car. rollt he windows up and go over the car with a water hose, including the cowl vents in front of the dash as well as inside the trunk.
it could be one of about 30 seals on the car, but most likely it's something in the heater ducting and cowl area.
could also be the AC evap drain, and that's easy enough to check and clean.

well since we are talking about heaters, when replacing the heater core, can you jus unbolt the the heater core housing from the firewall inside the dash without having to drain the A/C system or unbolt any of the a/C condenser parts. I was thinking about just gettin a used heater core housing from the JY and swapping it out into mine until I get enough $$$ for a new one.

yea.. you have to remove the bolt that holds the a/c line to its bracket (on the frame/strut tower) so it can move around some, but you don't have to disconnect any lines or anything. you are gonna have to pull the blower motor assembly out first tho, to make room for the a/c box to scoot over to the right so you can take the heater box off. at least that's what i had to do.
Oh ok thanks for that info,
