mold/mildew smell from AC

I am starting to get a moldy/mildewy smell from my AC. Can anyone tell me where the recirculation air pickup is inside the cab- so I can spray a can of lysol in it?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My Finance's Honda Prelude is really bad, so any generic remedies for moldy smell elimination would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris

most of the time the intake for the air is behind the glove box.
MY 250 is under the glove box in the back.

Bg makes a product call Fridgi Fresh.Part #708. This stuff kills bacteria that causes this oder and it all so has a freshing agent in it. I found the web site on the internet. I do not have the link but if you can't find it let me know and I will find the path for you. complete name is BG Products,Inc. Wichita,Kansas 67213. Thay will not sell direct to you but thay will give you a phone number for a distributer in your area that you should be able to get it from.

Pet Boy auto parts if you have one in your area sells a product called pure air that suppose to do the same but I don't think that it come's close to BG. I was useing the stuff every other day to kill the odor. Bg I only have to use once every month or two. Great stuff!!

over and out

I found http://www.bgprod.com/locator.html I called the distributor listed for most of the South West, who told me that FRIGI FRESH is distributed thru CarQuest and NAPA stores.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Laters.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Jun-02 AT 10:22 PM (EST)]From your description it sounds like your evaporator may need the scum cleaned off it. If you have seen a house window A/C unit you'd know what I mean. The dust scum will get wet from condesation and can cause a foul oder. Just use an air hose on it once you get the panels off to get to it. Don't ask me how to get to it for I havn't done any 97's yet.
