How do you get rid of mold smell from vents on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid?

Answer 1

Well, I read on another site that one of the likely causes of the smell is due to operating the AC with the air intake coming from outside. That lets dirty water and such into the system, which in turn becomes stagnant and smelly. So much in fact that its mistaken for body odor.

This makes sense to me so when I read the solution, I tried it and was very successful.

Turn on the AC to maximum, then make sure you set the intake to the outside setting. Then you choose a disinfectant/purifier/deodorizer of your choice, such as lysol, and you spray into the vents(it wasn't specific but I used half a can)on the outside of your vehicle near the wipers. After letting that run for a few minutes(15 or so),change the AC setting to recirculate the air inside your car, and spray(the other half) into the vents.

By the way, It worked great for me and I stopped using the outside are intake.
