    Grrr after so long never experiencing this, mouse behind the dash. One, what looks like a mom, fell out in the cabin air filter. Two babies fell from behind glove box somewhere. I’ve checked the (pardon) air spinner below the filter and nothing in there.

    Is there anyone here else I can look/take apart and inspect for more? Been a few days and I’m worried about decaying mice.

    Not much you can access besides the filter and blower, you could pull the cowling off and look in there. While ypur at it do the intake screen mod to keep them from getting in again.

    You would smell it by now if it's been a few days.

    Agree. One died in my office at work and it smelled horrid after just a couple days.

    There's a lot of mice running around at my work, but it's open space so I guess I wouldn't notice the smell if some died. I had a rat in my garage and it smelled pretty awful being alive.

    Had one get into the fan on a Nissan Frontier, and when I turned it on high to cool down the cab, it shook the truck like a washing machine spin cycle with a sandbag in it. Could only run it on fan setting 1 until I got the body out. Fortunately, in New Mexico 15% humidity means nearly instant mummification so no stink.

    Look in the air filter intake for mouse nest material. Once upon a time I found lots of nesting material in there. I also found dead baby mice in the blower. Yea, my cab was starting to stink.
