Everytime I turn on my A/C a smell comes out of the vents that would knock a grown man to his knees! I called the Nissan dealer and of course they want like $300 to change some filter behind the dash. Any ideas or suggestions?

Since the difference in price is minimal, I would buy the most powerful one. You could always buy a $10 timer and set it to only go off every 15 minutes or whatever to get the level of Ozone you want.Blackbeauty said:
Keep in mind - you do not want to be in the area when you are running the generator, so using a timer is always a good idea. I set mine up near the air exchange (on a timer) before I leave the house sometimes. It pumps ozone through the house and I come home to a nice clean smelling pad.

I confirmed this with both the owners manual and the DVD that came with the new truck. Outside temperature has to be above 36* for the A/C to dehumidify while using the defroster regardless of what the A/C light says. Otherwise, it'll kick on initially, then shut down.37L1 said:

The thing I hate is that they never dry the vehicle well and as soon as you drive away, all the water streaks and leaves ugly trails, so you still have to go home and detail the vehicle and clean the windows to lose the streaks. And for the price, I'd much rather just do it in my own driveway with softened water that DOESN'T spot instead of recycled water that is full of chemicals.HudsonValleyTitan said:

Not to hi-jack this thread, but i see all sorta threads about stinky A/C's...
Mine has never had an odor in over three years....Hmmmmmmmm ???
Now the doors are a different story and i have never heard of anyone saying they have an odor from the doors when the windows are down...
I have mentioned it several times but no one seems to have the same problem..
Are there drains in the doors somewhere for moisture to get out ????
Mine are pretty funky when the windows are down only....
It's the same smell you would get from an A/C because i had that issue on my old chebby....
Mystery Funk ????????

Are you still on the doors?!?!?!?!? And yes, there are some drain holes in the bottoms of the doors. Maybe the intergalactic atmosphere creation device could help with that? At least if it's mold or mildew, it might? :dunno:

Sounds like the holes (you can see them on the bottom inside part of the doors) are blocked up. Are the doors heavy? Do you hear water in them when you move the doors? Poke something through those holes..see if water coems out but no, I've never heard of that problem before.

A couple of points...
1. The A/C kicks on during defrost too dry the air. Moisture will condensate on the evaporator.
2. One experance I had with stinky A/C was in my wifes Xtera. While filling it with gas I cleaned the windshield. The washing soultion I used must have been old because it defenatly was stinky.:tongue: to make a long story short. The stinky water went down into the fresh air intake and made for a stinky Xtera for about a week.:flame:

So just an update. I never replaced the filter or did much with it. I just got got more pissed about it. Until, I was in a buddies car and he turned his A/C on. He turned off the recirc and I asked him why he did that? He said because if he doesn't his A/C will smell like ____ .
Anyway, been running my A/C without the Recirc and it doesn't stink at all. You can only turn it off if you put it on the setting next to "max a/c". But it still blows cold air. Don't know the science behind it but no more stinky A/C for me.
