Anyone have any hints on how to get the mouse smell out of my heating system?

[CadillakJak]

Just got my SX/4 but every time I blow the heat it smells like Mice horribly. Anyone have any good way of getting rid of that?

[dustyeagle]

Not sure where to get it but there is a foam you can inject by drilling a small hole in heater box. It will get rid of most odors

My SX/4 smells the same way!  After driving it for a month and a half now it seems to be getting better though

BG Frigi-Fresh will do the trick.  You can do a search on Google for it and some of the procedures for using it.

The Best way is to crack open the heater box to really get in there and hose her down.

Sweet, just bought some. When it gets here I will try and figure out how and where to best get it in the heater box. You guys are great, thanks!

GM dealers also have a very good foam, spray at the intake of the system and let it blow through.  They also have the stuff where you drill a small hole in the heater to inject it directly inside the heater.  I worked at Chrysler dealers but would use this stuff for ac and heater cores to remove odors from cars/truks.

[Screamin'Eagle]

That's the same thing.  Gm dealers sell it at a markup.

Yes, I used some, I got at either Lowes or Home depot , it's just a refrigerant coil cleaner , wxcept I had to remove the fan and most of the heater box, as said mouse got distributed through the box and up against the coil via trying to out run the fan like and exersize wheel. It worked great , but I also had to snorkel vaccumm out some "parts" . Not a fun thing after a few nice hot summer days.

That's not mice, that's "New Car Smell"

A clothes peg is pretty effective.

I have some of the frigi-freeze stuff coming but I am going to try something else someone in the know offered up. They had a similar issue come up and they poured 2 5 gallon bucket fulls of a blend of Lysol hot water and soap? I think down the vents in front of the windshield. Wish me luck!

You're talking about pouring 10 gallons of liquid down the defroster vents, right?
I've had a heater core out, but I don't know enough about the ducts to know where that liquid will go or how it will
get back out.

[CadillakJak]

No, not the heater vents on the dash. The valance in front of the windshield. Between it and the hood.

[jim]

That's a relief.  Sorry for my confusion.

No sweat, a good friend who owns a shop locally said he has done that in the past and it drastically deminishes the overall stench. That and the frigi-freeze should hopefully do the trick...
