If your worried about or have a smell coming from your vents, you can take out your blower and clean it. Mine had a ton of leaves and sounded like poo. But all was good once I cleaned it out, flow, smell etc.

I was hoping to find lots of garbage in that blower but I didn't find a damn thing. It's been awhile since I've seen where the blower motor sits in, but I guess you could just throw a small paper filter on top of the blower motor...

Welcome! I also need to say; do not use water to clean the blades. The dust will just turn to mud and you'll play pure hell getting that crap out. Use an old dry toothbrush to get out the majority and then q-tips to finish it off. Not easy but thats the best I could do with what I had.

Far passenger side, under the dash (starting from floor board side). I actually had to recline my seat and lay in it upside down to get to it LOL

Better explanation

Just remove that cover underneath glove box, then you'll see a round looking thing held in by 3 bolts. Remove those bolts, and unplug it, clean it. Plug it back in and see if it runs.
