Didn't know there was an air conditioner filter on the Rodeo's?? I know there is a cabin filter on my Tacoma, but have never heard of it on the Rodeo

My '99 doesnt have one but newer ones might. The issue though is bacteria in the a/c evaporator coil. Usually when that happens to someone I know I turn the fan on high (a/c not on though) then spray Lysol into the fresh air intake. Usually end up using a full large can done in stages. That should kill off the bacteria. To help prevent it happening again make sure the fresh/recirc air lever is on full fresh air whenever the a/c is being used. Also turn the a/c off but leave the fan on for a few block before getting to your destination to help the coil dry off.
