When I turn the air conditioning on in my 2013 GMC Terrain there is the smell of mold. Apparently the air conditioner doesn't get rid of any moisture left after using it.

I was told by the Coeur d' Alene ID. dealership to spray Lysol into the air vents to kill the mold. That there isn't anything they can do about it because there isn't any way to vent moisture left in the system. This is a health issue for everyone as breathing mold isn't safe.

There is a procedure for this condition. GM says to flush the core with a cleaning agent they sale. I have found Lysol Fresh scent does a much better job of curing the condition.Spray the Lysol in the outside air intake vent while the vehicle is running with it set to max a/c and fan speed also on max. It will take about 1/4th can to fully clear the mildew smell and stop it from growth. When parking the vehicle always put it in max a/c position so the fresh air outside the vehicle will dry out the coil.

If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus i know a website that has very good manuals online,

Hello, there. I have a 2009 Mazda cx-9, and I was running AC quite a bit in the last year and I noticed it has strong odour from the ac vent, when the AC is on, there is no smell, when I turn off the AC...

You need to clean your A/C main vent from center console using a special A/C cleaning equipment with ultrasonic waves. Here in Europe it's easy to find a workshop with this special A/C cleaning equipment with ultrasonic waves. I suggest you to search a workshop in your area, and ask them for this special A/C cleaning equipment with ultrasonic waves.

Air conditioner

There is no filter, this smell is caused by mold/mildew in the system from normal condensation from the AC evaporator core, you can try Lysol, spray at the air intake in front of the windshield for about 20 seconds, turn of the system and let it set overnight, this will cure the problem for a few months, then you will have to treat it again, as the mold will regrow in the moist environment of the AC air distribution box.
