@b1.anton: Turn off the AC button about 3 minutes before you shut the engine, but keep the fan blowing. It dries the evaporator and stops bacteria and mold from building up. Tiny habit, huge difference. #carhack #viralcarhack #autotips #mechanicsecrets #carcaretips
It’s 110 here in Oklahoma. I’ll take the bacteria.

actually as long as you replace your cabin air filter when you need to that prevents bacteria from going into the system you know......

Obviously you don’t live in Texas. Nobody is turning the a/c off for some fake crisis.

You realize that air conditioning removes moisture right? Turning it off before would promote mold and bacteria.

If you leave your A/C on when you shut your car off then don’t be surprised when your A/C stops working out of nowhere lol

And spraying disinfectant into the area where it pulls in air gets rid of the bacteria. Yeah I’m not turning off my ac. I also drive a $100k car, so i haven’t had this issue and its garage kept

I do this with mine just about a minute before shutoff 🤷♂️like when I make my last turn before arriving or just before I pull into my driveway

If the bacteria can survive the Oklahoma heat, I’m sure there’s no antibiotic that would kill it either.

newer Hyundais just run the fans after the car is off to accomplish the same thing

I'm a mechanic, if you have a plugged a/c drain hose then doing this will prevent water build up that can junk the blower motor and cost an ABSURD amount to repair. If the car is working as intended this is useless

You don’t need to do that, that’s what the evaporator drain is for.
