1997 Land Rover Discover Heater A/C Dead Mouse/Rat Smell or Fan does not work
Dead mouse in the AC/Heater fan 3rd time for me and $200-$400 each time the dealership cleans it out. So today I did it myself and now mad I spent $800 prior. It’s a bit of a job but once you do it all makes sense.
STEPS:
1) Remove glove box completely – undo the spring loaded latches on each side that hold it open, and then unbolt the hinges (4 bolts)
2) Remove the black cardboard cover completely – 3 plastic clips carefully pull out and rear clip unscrews
3) Now you can see the fan housing in plain view
4) Unplug as many plugs in the fan as possible (remember where they go!)
5) Unclip/unscrew the cables attached to the fan housing
6) Unbolt the 2 bolts up top and unbolt the 2 bolts below
7) Now the fan housing is loose and you can move it but not fully remove it
8) Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the fan housing (you can see 2 and a 3rd is in the back)
9) Once you remove all 3 screws you can now from the bottom remove and expose the fan
10) If it’s full of **** JACKPOT if it’s not you may have other problems
11) Clean it well and make sure it does not smell
12) Now just follow the directions in reverse to put it back together
13) Once you put the fan back on with the 3 screws maybe test it to make sure it works before completely finishing the job
Hope this helps my 1997 rover smells good and the AC/Heater works great!

    Lastly – to prevent this from happening again. Look at the plastic cover where the hood meets the windshield there is an intake on the passenger side under it. Remove clips and bolts and put some small wire mesh over the intake. About 10x3 inch hole. That should help keep those buggers out.

Wereisthepvc valve on a 2004 srx cadillac

What engine 3.6 l or 4.6 l ? Doesn't have a PCV valve .
A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors created during the combustion process instead of venting them to the atmosphere.
Fresh air is supplied through a filter to the crankcase, the crankcase mixes the fresh air with the blow-by gases and then passed through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orificed tube into the intake manifold.
The PCV orificed tube restricts the flow rate of the blow-by gases using a 3 mm (0.118 in) (a) orifice located at the end of the tube. If abnormal operating conditions arise, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent tube into the throttle body in order to be consumed by normal combustion.

Your best bet , take it to your GM dealer

Tips for operating Air conditioning system on Toyota Hilux and someother...

To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.

Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

On humid, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield.

Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the vehicle.

On cold days, set the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up b the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the in intake be set to FRESH and the fan speed to any setting except "OFF".

If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.

HEATING

For best results, set controls to;
Fan speed ---- Any setting except "OFF"
Temperature----Towards WARM (red zone)
Air intake ---- FRESH (outside air)
Air flow ---- FLOOR
Air conditioning ---- OFF

For quick heating, select recirculated air for a few minutes. To keep the windows from fogging, select fresh after the vehicle has been warmed.

Press the "A/C" button on for dehumidified heating.

Choose floor/windshield air flow to heat the voltage interior while defrosting or defogging the windshield.

AIR CONDITIONING

For best results, set controls to;

Fan speed --- Any setting except 'OFF"
Temperature --- Towards COLD (blue zone)
Air intake --- (outside air)
Air flow --- PANEL
Air conditioning --- ON

For quick cooling, move the air intake selector to recirculate for a few minutes.

VENTILATION

For best results, set controls to;

Fan speed --- Any setting except 'OFF"
Temperature --- Towards COLD (blue zone)
Air intake --- (outside air)
Air flow --- PANEL
Air conditioning --- ON

DEFOGGING

The inside of the windshield

For best results, set controls to:

Fan speed --- Any setting except 'OFF"
Temperature --- Towards WARM (red zone) to heat; COLD (blue zone) to cool
Air intake --- FRESH (outside air)
Air flow --- WINDSHIELD
Air conditioning --- ON

The outside of the windshield

For best results, set controls to:

Fan speed --- Any setting except 'OFF"
Temperature --- Towards WARM (red zone)
Air intake --- FRESH (outside air)
Air flow --- WINDSHIELD
Air conditioning --- OFF

On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield.

DEFROSTING

The outside of the windshield

For best results, set controls to:

Fan speed --- Any setting except 'OFF"
Temperature --- Towards WARM (red zone)
Air intake --- FRESH (outside air)
Air flow --- WINDSHIELD
Air conditioning --- OFF

To heat the vehicle interior while defrosting the windshield, choose floor/windshield air flow.

Does a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire have a PCV valve?

Crankcase Ventilation System Description
A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of venting them to atmosphere. Fresh air from the intake system is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow by gases and then passed through a calibrated orifice into the intake manifold.
The primary control is through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice which meters the flow at a rate depending on inlet vacuum. The PCV orifice is an integral part of the camshaft cover. If abnormal operating conditions occur, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent into the intake system to be consumed by normal combustion.

Disconnect the PCV fresh air tube from the left camshaft cover.
Remove the PCV fresh air tube from the throttle body.
Remove the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement .
Remove the power steering pump retaining bolt.
With the hoses still attached, Carefully position aside the power steering pump.
Remove the retaining clip securing the PCV dirty air tube.
Disconnect the PCV dirty air tube from the PCV orificed tube.

Climate control schematic

There is a new mist service or cleaner for your heater system, they use a two step cleaning, first your system is fill with a cleaning foam that expands and pulls contaminants out, then your vehicle gets a spray through your fresh air intake and all windows close that will clean and leave your truck smelling fresh. ask your dealer or call around, replace your cabin filter with a carbon impregnated filter to help even more.

Why do I have no ventilation in my crank case on my chevy truck

That is what the PCV system is supposed to do. Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The pcv valve (maybe on the valve cover) sucks the fumes out into the intake manifold by a vacuum hose. There is also a fresh air hose to the valve cover from the air breather. As the fumes are sucked out, fresh air is supplied in.
You need to check the pcv system.
