Hello, when i run my air conditioning all i can smell is dust. I don't get this smell when I run my heater, just the AC. How can I fix this?

most gm shops have an anti-microbial deodourizer spray that is applied to the evaporator core. This will inhibit the growth of organisms that can grow on the moisture that forms on the evaporator and absorb odours.

The dealer should also enable the blower motor afterblow function. When enabled, the blower motor will run for a period of time after the car is shut down to evaporate any moisture on the evaporator.

Slagmar,

I am sorry you are having this concern. I would be more than happy to assist you in working with the dealership, if that is the route you would like to purse. Hope to hear from you soon!
