Bad odor when running A/C
Got a smelly odor when I started running the A/C this year. I'm guessing maybe a drain is clogged or I just need to spray some anit-fungal somthing in the intake. If anyone could clue me in to where the A/C drain and intake is at that would help alot.

It's mould in the evaporator. There are sprays you shoot down the intake cowl to kill it.
One way to avoid future mould is to dry the evaportor before you stop driving the car. Switch the AC to vent about 4 minutes before you arrive at your destination.

...and leave your selector in the Vent position with the A/C recirculation button Off when the car sits.This allows fresh air to circulate through the system when not in use preventing mold build up.
