anyone know where cabin air exhaust out from?

trying to find the cabin exhaust air place so i can place some 1/4" hardware cloth over it to keep mice out.. tks jerbo

 

ps. is there any other place mice can enter the cab other than s above fan vent which already has 1/4" hardware cloth?? thks jerbo

 

They come in thru the cabin air intake too.

 

Is there an exhaust

 

i have the air intake with 1/4" hardware cloth already installed. where is the cabin AIR r exhaust located???

 

The exhaust is into the cabin, right? or routed to the heater/AC (when not in recycle mode)?

 

If mice want in they will get in. Mice can chew thru the plastic used for the heater core and A/C Evaporator housing. Mice are looking for food, water or to make a bed. Just don't store food (they are fond of dog food) in your truck. Controlling the surroundings of where you park also helps. And the cabin vents are on the back wall below the top of the bed.

 

HI, thanks. the cabin air must exhaust to the outside behind the cab. but i dont see it. it cant exhaust through the intake because incoming air enters there. anyone know exactly where the air leaves the cab??

 

Do you mean the vents behind the rear seats? They're already louvered

 

There are vents on the back of the cab in between the cab and the bed. They have little flaps on them. I doubt rodents are getting through one. They'd have to chew up a decent amount of plastic first.

 

hi rocklobster, im looking for ANY air vent to the outside where mice can find their way into the cab....

 

hi fantastic11, what color or other easy way to find these air vents ? how many & where are they> can i spot from under the truck as i have a shell on the bed. tks jerbo

 

ps fantastic11,
would it be possible to put some 1/4" hardware cloth inside these vents to keep mice out??? tks jerbo

 

Mice in cab have not been an issue. The furthest I have ever heard of one getting is at the cabin filter, which if you've screened the cowl, you're good. The engine bay however, that's a different story.

Also, they don't instantly jump into the vents. They have to climb to get there, which means you have a few choke points of egress - the tires. Stop them from climbing the tires and you've stopped them from chewing wires.

 

the mice just took up residence inside cab....i have e gine air intake under air filter screened off, ditto heater air intake as of yesterday. by process of elimination im down to the air exhausts...what do they look like, & can they be seen from inside cab, behind or under jumpseats where the jack is located ??
i lie in the redwoods forest, there are zillions of mice everywhere...since i park outside they like to escape the elements and poop inside engine area near front left [pass side]... tks for reply, jerbo

 

The vents should be on the back wall behind the seats, they vent into the space between cab and bed. You usually have to pull a panel to see them.

 

hi, thanks. what year is this truck in the photos?? when you say: "pull a panel" do you mean inside the truck cab or the black outside cover [vent] ?? does this black thing have some downward facing vents or what? mine is a gen 1 2003. thanks for info & photos. jerbo

 

Mice do not like peppermint, buy some of this and put on bits of cloth or carpet...

Don`t forget around the shifter they love chewing through rubber

Where the engine harness enters the cab is another spot the love to chew through .

Any of the plastic plugs in the floor.

I have had them enter all the above spots.
