curious lately i've been having a weird smell coming from my vents when i turn on my ac, it only lasts for about 2-3 minutes but embarrasing none the less when i pick up people in this california hot heat... i'm tired of explaining that it's not me it's the vents hahah  just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or any similar problems.. it never did before i bought it, i'm thinking when i took my hummer back to the dealer for some work they stuck somethin' dead in there...  

i tried spraying the under carriage, looking for dead animals in the engine bay, all they above, only thing i can think of is maybe a rat or cat crawled in to keep warm at night and got trapped!!? i tried air freshners, and hoping the smell would go after a bit of time, but that smell is just too ripe, and hex(hummer) isn't covered under any warranty i guess i'm sol for the meantime.

(I knew there would be trouble when I read that thread Title)

Trade it in on one of these, then you'll have a ride for your people and All Critters (AC).

Course HummBob's suggestion may be more cost effective..........

Silly question....  Did the smell start occuring after you made your G/F climb the fence at 7am with the 2 pitbulls?

If so... apologize and ask her what she left to rot in there....

Are you sure this is not a nose/mouth proximity issue on your behalf ???

hahah, as bad as it sounds i wish it was my breath, then i could just brush my teeth... but it only happens when i turn the ac on.. so i know it's coming from the vents and it lasts for about a good 10 min... i'm almost positive something died in there..  i haven't had time to get in there in check.. so i've just been riding my bike cuz the smell is horrible..

i've had vent smells from two sources.

the first is hitting the mud with the A/C on, which sucks alot of gunky water into the system and can stink for a good long while.  Spray alot of lysol into the inlet while the A/C is running to fix that.

the second was the skid plate filling up with oil and grease from a blown part or 2, and the normal oil changes, which lent a bit of an oily/greasy shop kind of smell when the a/c was on.  the fix for that is just cleaning things up.

i get oil spills - small amounts, but not nothing - from changes because i have a home-made skidder that doesn't let it all flow by.  I got an H2O skid plate with some mods to make it fit from a friend who used to have an H2 not long ago, and that looks to be a better unit WRT changing oil.

What you are smelling is sulfur from your battery. You need to replace your battery.
