Air smells bad from climate control?
Hi, the air come from climate is not smelling very good. When I turn on the A/C, then it smells normal. The smell is only bad when A/C is off. What would be the possible problem?

Thanks.

Cabin air filter is located behind the glovebox.

We've seen some pretty rank cabin filters come our of our Infiniti's. Dead mice and bugs, they need to be changed every 30K miles especially if your G35 isn't garaged....

It's most likely mold build up in the system. Whenever you run the AC, make you turn the AC off and let the air run for a while to get rid of the moisture. That fixed my problem for the most part.

+1 No need to buy the expensive OEM Charcoal filter. This one does the job at more than half the cost.
