Good grief... looks like a lint trap... what did you have maling a nest in there a mouse?... while you're cleaning out the fan it is also a good opportunity to clean out the duct work too... there is some dust release stuff you can put on a rag and wipe araound what you can get to, maybe use a flexible snake thing and get in the rest. there is some anti-mould a/c freshener stuff you can get that will help it smell better too.

I think it's the same for the Taco. Really easy, it's just the screw that's the farthest forward that is really difficult... I should've cleaned the ducts, totally spaced that. I'm not going in there again! I need my shots after that job!

Yeah its basically in the same place/same proceedure. It is easier to get at with the glovebox out though IMO... you can see what you're working on.

yep yep.. most cars are like that.. i took the cabin filter out of my girl's 05 corolla and man was it bad. it was almost pitch black and we dont smoke.. i think the fans need to be cleaned about once a year.. my brother's 96 chevy had a rats nest in his.. atleast thats what it looked like
