I dont drive my Vette so it sits in the garage for long periods of time. About a year ago I took it out for a spin and noticed a real rank smell coming from the AC. I found a dead rat in the ducting.

I use lysol for cleaning the mold out of the AC. Just turn the vents to forward and hit the recycling button so that it pulls air in from the bottom of the windshield. Then u spray the lysol there to get the spray into the AC system. Works good for me. And again, just turn off your AC while u let the car run to blow all the condensation out of the AC. Turbo timer does wonders here.

do you think its due to the mother rat missing her head that could still be causing the horrendous stink? i think i might've fed it to my dog if it fell out. I was cleaning my passenger floormat at night because someone dropped their pastrami burger on the floor so i just picked it all up and fed it to my dogs.
