Automatic Climate Control maintenance

Ya, had a helluva moldy stench coming into the cabin. Actually it was worse than mold - kinda smelled like something rotten.

So I decided to have a look in the cabin air vent intake (air intake vents back of engine compartment, passenger side, on top). So I find a bunch of insulation in there. I'm thinkin' (not being a farm boy) how the hell did that get in there? So I digs it out and lo and behold! - a dead stinkin' mouse!

Obviously I now need to spray some disinfectant in there a clean it up. So I find out I need to remove the glove compartment to access the Cabin Air filter. Took out a bunch of screws (6?) - still wouldn't come out...Hmmm. Find out there's one more screw on the upper right way back in there. Got that one out and then pulled a few times on the glove box and voila! Glove box finally comes out. I'll show ya what I found in there.


note: Don't know why these pics (just the thumbnails) are rotated 90 deg. - trying to fix that!
