I get in my Grand-Prix GTP to go over to my boys shop and turned on the A/C when I am assaulted by the stench of rotting flesh. I know that I now have a dead mouse somewhere in my A/C ducts. After I got done cussing I pull the front of the car back in to the garage and poped the hood. Once I got the hood opened I observed mouse sh!t on the engine cover. At this point I am praying the little b@stered didn't chew any wires while he was camping under the hood. I began my search for his corpse in the wiper cowl. I removed both wipers, the washer tubing, and the plastic cowl screen. I looked over by the blower motor and find two more turds but no sack of spoiled rodent meat. I am now really pissed because I am thinking that it is under the blower. After the blower was removed Mickey was still not found but was smelt. After fishing with a coat hanger in the evaporator box Fivel was free to rot in hell.

Ewww
Funny, sorta, cuz here at work my bf works in the warehouse and yesterday he received a shipment of rails from one of our installers, inside the box was 5 dead mice.
One of the mice looked like it was alive because it's insides were moving .... he poked it with a stick to see if it was really alive, and on his last poke ... maggots came crawling out of the mouse. Needless to say it stinks out back now, the installer has some explaining to do, and i was sent the pictures ... GROSS

Sucks bout the mouse tho. Get some concetrated air freshner. Turn the car and the a/c on and let it kool off (dont sit in it since it stinks lol). Where the wiper cowl is, there should be 2 vents that eventually lead to the a/c. DUMP that ish in there, you should be able to leave the cover on there. It'll drain out the bottom of the car, but the scent should come out the vents for a few days.
Maybe that will help.
And like Omar said, you could probably use Febreeze to do the same thing.

I did use Fabreez, in fact I used so much that I can no longer stand the smell of it. It took about 5 days for the Fabreez smell to die down. I also used some alcohol. It is all back to normal now.
