Question:

Location of cabin air intake?

I want to know where the air intake is for a 2001 Olds Alero Coupe. I have field mice building nests in the air box and they get stuck in the squirrel cage fan. Today will be the fourth time I‘ve had to remove the fan to get them out.I thought it was up between the hood and the windshield, those slots where the posts for the wiper arms mount. It doesn‘t look large enough for them to get in and out of there although it has been me who is getting them out!I want to do what I did for the air filter box, put a screen over the intake so they don‘t climb into the lower part of the filter box an build their nest.I guess it is the curse of living in the country.

Answer:

You may have to take the wheel well panel off, and shove a screen in there. Most air boxex intakes are behind that area. Is the front passenger wheel. Hope this helps.
they're getting into the inside of the car, up the heater vents and into the htr. put traps in your garage or around the car, feed them like crazy and u will soon get them
Never walk into a logging bar with a Save the owls button on, and never buy a car that's losing coolant. And never buy a car with multiple, serious problems. That means the owner didn't fix things that went bad and you're sure to find a lot more problems.
I had this problem on my Pontiac Grand prix before, well on my car the mice we getting in my Fan too, like your problem, I found out where they were getting in, I found out that mice were getting into my car I found that when it was raining that the water gets on windshield that it drains into the vents below the windshild wipers and there are drain holes inside that metal box that drain the water out and I am pretty sure that mice were squeezing through these drain holes on the outside of the car. My fix was I removed black vent cover below wipers, and my car doesn't have a cabin air filter but the fully loaded Gp's did, so I went to the parts store bought a cabin air filter and then I got a piece of small holed fencing, small enough to not have mice get threw, I cut it to air filters size, then I duct tape it to cabin air filter, so mice wouldn't do that nesting crap. It fixed my problem
