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?

take your dash out and crack the heater box open. I guarantee there is all kinds of nasty crap clogged up inside of it.
they make a spray for your problem but thats just a bandaid.

After I take it out, do I just clean it up and put it back in or is there a special way to clean it?
