Smell after turning A/C off

[jimp]

Does anyone else also get a smell after turning off the A/C? Thanks.

I get a funky smell from my AC all the time.

I researched this. Apparently it has do do with moisture from
condensation sitting in the AC components, which gathers
mildew, and then stinks like old socks.

The solution I've read about, was to install some sort of mini-fan
inside the AC components, that will run for a few minutes after the
engine turns off to evaporate out all the moisture.

I believe it was an aftermarket kit.

Sounded too hairy to me, so I live with the intermittent smell, for now...

I have noticed somewhat of an odor from mine..I have read about the collection of moisture, and nixed the idea of a separate fan. Changing out the cabin micro-filter helped a lot...have u tried that?

This has happened since the car was new.
