Sometimes water builds up in the AC drain and gets a musty smell check the A/c drain tube for a blockage but dont ask me where its at under the car. I have the problem and will spray a disinfectant at the intake by the battery, remove the cabin filter turn a/c system on full fan speed and spray t will last for a little while, there are also many threads on it here thats where I learned what it was
