Smell of Manure/Fertilizer coming from AC

[jlbeau]

I turned my AC this weekend after a long winter in NE, the odor that was coming thru the vents was a passing a cow farm in VT. Any history with what might be causing this? Does not occur when heat is on only AC and mainly when first turned on, still there after a while just not as bad. Does the Raptor have a cabin air flter I can change?

2013 Raptor ~20k milegage...........Thanks Beauregard

There is a drain to the ac evaporator that could be clogged. If the water has been sitting all winter in there, it would smell bad.

Check the drain to ensure it is clear. You can then buy some AC deoderizer at the parts store to spray in there too kill the smell.

Joe can you explain where the drain is to the ac evaporator? I have a weird smell also as soon as I turn on air/heat/defrost then it goes away

The smell I get is definitely not manure-like. Band-Aids best describes what I smell. If anyone else is having it, please chime in on the thread linked above which has Crystal's (Ford Customer Care) attention.

I don't know exactly where, because I haven't had to locate it on thus truck yet. But you should be able to find it on the passenger side fire wall. If you let three truck run for a while with the AC on, it should start to drip from there.
