    Heater Smells?

    When I turned the dial to the hot position on the AC controls I get the sweet smell of coolant. I turn it on and I can still smell it. Any ideas?

    Pretty sure that was the case because every now and then I get tiny amounts of coolant on the pass. side floorboard. So can I not use it at all?

    check your coolant level and see if it's gone down

    you can use it at the expense of soaking your carpets with rusty coolant

    Yeah I will take a gander at it sometime tomorrow. Where would it be leaking from if its soaking on the floorboard? I mean I really don't need it, if I just put the control on the hot side itself, it stays warm in there. Plus I have the jeep now.

    Eh it gets a little chilly here and there. I wonder if I should just rip it out. How much does it weigh?
