I would diffinately keep the A/C off because that will create more moisture for the mold to grow (hopefully it's just mold and not a rats nest). Like I said try the heat on, that will dry out the mold, and maybe spray with Lysol, to kill the mold, like some said.

what does it smell like? might be tainted because of the lysol, but mine smelt like shit and piss
I lost my AC to those bastards :madr:

run the heater on high, outside air, spray lysol in through that vent.

I could tell there was a rats nest because when I had my fan on there was a clicking sound... the sound of the nest going around and around and the piss and shit mix smell

Nah it doesn't smell like rat anything. My parents' cars had that and mine doesn't smell anything like it. So I'm spraying under the glove compartment? Where there? I see a big white thing. Just spray around that area or do I have to remove something?

Well I went under the glove box and just sprayed around while the heater was blowing. Left it for like 15 minutes, and that helped...a bit. It was fine for like a day, now it stinks again

On a Civic it's on the right side kind of under the dash.

Now. I've heard that a person could pour some foul liquid in the engine bay, right under where the base of the hood sits, near the firewall and that will get through to you.

Don't know how though.

Gotta go.
