whats that smell?

- Tue May 25, 2010 6:27 pm #196720 whenever I turn on my defroster/heater (basically when I turn on the climate control) I smell a very funky odor. Can't really make out what it is. And today I noticed a leaf sticking out of one of my vents lol. I read on the forum to spray lysol in the vents? How would I go about cleaning it and making sure it doesn't smell anymore? :D

they make a spray for your problem but thats just a bandaid.
