I have an 84 Chrysler New Yorker and when I turn the air on, the air
has a
bad smell coming through the vents for the first few minutes then it
goes
away. Now I did have the car setting up for a while (almost 2 years) and
drove it very seldom during this period. So is there something that
builds
up in the duct lines when you let a car sit up?
Happened when you performed a car wash and the in coming air vent was
set to
allow outside air into vehicle!
Is there anything I can do to clean it out?
To repair you will have to remove, thoroughly clean out by hand (use
Lysol lemon
fresh for best results!) and re-install the plastic air vents under
the dash.
The next time you wash your vehicle -- remember to close the vents!

Absolute garbage.
Water cannot get inside vehicle thru air vents.
Unless the vehicle is submerged.

usually true, but I once had a '67 Dart that had collected enough pine
needles in the air intake to allow water in the passenger compartment
when it rained - the cowl drains were completely full. Was fun to clean
out too, as the only access to that area was through the little vent
doors in the HVAC box - you can *just* reach your hand up in there to
grab a handful of pine needles :)

So, what's your point. I've owned pre 85 Chrysler products. Never had an issue
with water getting in through the air vents unless the vehicle was flooded.

It's a pre 85 chrysler product not a gm or a ford numb nuts!

I agree that could happen, but pine needles aren't an issue where I live. |
Even a Ferd or Cheby could get plugged.
