Getting a mildew smell from the duct work. We had rain the day before. Is there a drain plug that could be blocked? Any one with the same problem? I have an 05 SCREW FX4.

The first culprit would be your rear window.

The smell is coming from the A/C vent and floor vent. The smell kinda smells like a wet carpet, I will check the rear window just to rule it out.

Sounds like it's mold or something in your ventalation (sp) system. If you have a cabin air filter that's where to start.

Sorry, I was still thinking in '97-'03 mode when I said the rear window.

I had the same problem with my 04STX. It was related to my evaporator.
