thanks- Bronco at the dealer with defogger, rear glass issue. Let’s see what they say about the leak as well.
thank you. We will do that. Much appreciated, taking the Time to comment! Have a great day.
Your Bronco is brand new and new to you? I have a '22 that I've owned since August '22. The bad smell has only been going on for me in the past 3 months. It's not a brand new plastic smell I'm smelling. Wanted to mention too that the smell is present every time I turn the truck on, no matter how long it has sat. Will have to see if the winter months knock it out.
either I’m getting used to the smell or this works. In my mind, one is good, maybe should put two bags….Ok so I've had a DampRid hanging in this spot for over two weeks. It is approaching 20% full. I have let the truck run on max heat for a half hour. No damp anything that I can feel under the floormats. The smell remains. I feel like maybe the smell has changed a little over time, being a more body odor like smell now. Any other ideas or should the dealer investigate? For anyone else with this issue, do you have a humid garage? I know my garage is fairly humid but is this just a Ford thing? Four non-Ford vehicles in the same garage haven't developed any issue like this.
My door drain holes appear to be clear and unobstructed. I'm still searching for the actual AC drain tube and haven't had time to remove and skid plates and poke around. After driving and parking the truck you can hear a sizzle, like water dropping onto a hot part. I know I've read other posts on here saying the same. Just wondering if it's related to the AC drain or something builds up over time, especially with the skid plates.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm experiencing similar smell and it's driving me crazy. Cant find a leak, replaced cabin air filter, hung DryRid bag and smell still comes on when first getting into vehicle. Sprayed Lysol into vent and it seems to work for a day but smell comes back. Dealership says they will need 2-3 days to diagnose/fix and I haven't been able to make time to be without vehicle that long yet. Taking time off from work soon to take to dealer, but if you found a fix maybe that will work for mine as well?
Unfortunately I wasted my time with the dealer, no leak was found. Damp bags just did the job they’re supposed to do, miami so moisture bound to happen. Smell, I hate to say it, went away after a few months. Maybe it’s the plastic interior, will never know. Going on 2500 miles and learning to ride dirty with my side chick, bronco! Sorry I was Of zero help!
I did not figure out the cause or the location of the AC drain line. After filling one whole damprid bag over maybe two months the smell has just gone away. Around the time I took the bag out it had started to get cooler outside. Not sure how related all the factors are but I'll be asking my dealer to investigate next time I drop it off for service. Let us know if your dealer finds anything.
