smelly A/C ?
got stanky air comming though my vents. i hear this is caused by mildew getting into your vent system.. what kinda lysol and i spose to use to clean it? also.. if that still doesnt fix it.. what else can make my a/c smell.. i got the condenser replaced but the drier was not. can a bad drier make it smell?

I would try the Lysol disinfectant trick but my other guess would be your catalytic converter maybe trying to send you a message. It is possible that it may be abandonning you since your car is 9 years old if in fact it is original. BTW, nice color max.

You've probably already found this, but here are the complete instructions from the faq. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=72447 post 29.

try the lysol and see what happens.
I know that Japenese air condition just sometimes has kind of a weird smell. My old Mazda did, and my friend's Scubby does too.
I think they put rice in there since then just love it so much.
