mildewy smell when I turn on my air

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Thanks!! So, does the hose come out directly below or does it weave thru and come out somewhere else?

That is the hose. It just drips out of there from inside the car directly behind it. He should be able to blow it out, or get a small screwdriver or something in there to clear it out.

If you get under the car you should be able to see it sticking out from the firewall. Sometimes the rubber nipple thing gets stuck shut, just take your fingers and squeeze it open.

Hmmmmm....I just went to check mine and found it was missing! Think that's going to be a problem? I do get the musty smell just when the car is hot and the air first starts working.

Hopefully that isn't my problem and why they couldn't find it...
