Menace to Sobriety

    I did a little poking around the web and found numerous instances of this condition with the Sienna. (Slow day at work). Attached is link to one possible solution. The A/C doesn't have to be broken for this to occur, but apparently the drain line can get plugged and the condensate gets trapped and funky. It still could be a dead critter, too, but the link describes a pretty simple fix if its the evaporator.

    Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

            Its always nice when its the cheaper fix.

              A few months back I had the same problem in my 97 camry.  Yep, mouse.  My grandmother used to have major mouse issues in her car, she had a new house built in a field and all the field mice decided her car was a pretty sweet crash pad.  Honestly, she got mice caught in her blower motor like 6 or 7 times a year.  They also found her trunk and the liner on the top of the car particularly inviting.

              BTW, the place where the mouse actually gets chopped up in the blower motor is called a squirrel cage.  No joke.  And what's super fun is that generally, to access the squirrel cage, you need to get under the glove compartment, so your face is less than a foot away from it when you open 'er up.  Nothing like decomposed crushed mouse six inches from your nose on a hot day.

                Unless, of course, you're the mouse.

                Not at it at all.

                   It's always a bad deal for stowaways.

                     Really?  You can fix a dead mouse?

                          So where was the mouse? inside the passenger cabin or in the air intake?

                            Air intake, right near the fan.
