    Using my washer fluid today and recently , I can smell the fluid inside my cab. Anybody got and idea what this might be? For all I know it’s been happening the whole time , but my wife pointed it out today and I’m just curious.


    Thanks , Brian

    The air intake for the air conditioner is at the base of the windshield when you have the louvers set to intake fresh air it's brining in some mist from the washer spray and fumes as the liquid runs down the windshield into the drip tray at the top of the engine bay.

    You shouldnt smell it as bad if you use the recirculation button, if its open to outside you will smell it. Along with everything else
