Pine needles in defroster duct
Greetings All,
So I turned on the defroster in my '98 TJ for the first time in months
today, and the smell of burning pine needles immediately followed by
billowing smoke poured out...
I popped off the wipers and vent cover and stuck my shop-vac hose down
into the air intake and vacuumed out *tons* of junk. I then re-ran the
defroster for a while, and other than a light residual burning smell, no
more fire. Good. :)
I'm looking for opinions on whether I should try to tear right into it
and disassemble the entire system, or is this a *major* PITA? I've
never done it before, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
-John

Vacuum it again and then spray Lyson down there with the AC running to
kill the smell, it should be OK.
