REFER TO TSB 04-55-008
it refers to removing cabin air filter or installing one and cleaning from inside box.

I haven't found a good pic. Found the TSB that Steve refers to. The last one I found was weird. I looked all over the firewall and cowl...nothing. So I pulled a few panels off the center console and found the rubber tube. Apparently it exited between a double panel on the firewall and there was no way you could see it or access it. Look under the dash and you might find it. I pulled mine off and blew it out from the inside...full of debris because someone mis-install a cabin filter.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

thanks for posting fix. when i have a car with a plugged vent or just one with a musty smell i replace the cabin air filter and if the customer isn't sensitive to odors i'll spray it with a light amount of fabreeze.
