    It's a common issue with all vehicles in the right environment. Pull your fan out from under the dash . It's on the glove box side . Easy fix . What ever you do dont pay for it . There almost always caught in the fan . Take that little f'er out and febreeze it. Just did this for my boss 3 months ago. It's a common thing when you work at a dealership because people usually say there fan is making a wierd noise and it's under warranty. It's not.

    Client complained about dead rodent smell coming from the wall about "there". Found it cutting throught the drywall when the sawzall blade started coming out bloody. They were dead on. Pretty easy to pop the cowling above the intake and screen it.

    Got in my 2016 yesterday and rat piss smell. Took out ac filter and full of turds and pee stained filter. Cleaned it out very good and changed filter. Checked engine filter and same thing, full of turds. I took the air filter box out and pulled off the end cap and covered opening with aluminum window screen. Then i took wiper cowl off and covered ac vent with double layer screen and made 2 cone pieces and shoved in corner holes. I put 12 glue boards I under hood. Waiting to catch he lil sucker.
