Where is the cabin air intake located on an 08 pathy? I have a musty smell coming out of the vents. I just replaced the cabin air filter And now im looking to trace through the ducting to make sure nothings in there and maybe shoot some lysol through it?

It's on the cowl in front of the windshield. Black grille.

Cabin air filter is a solid start. Go to an auto parts store and buy two cans of AC duct cleaner (IDQ is a good brand). It's a stronger version of Lysol and works much better. Treat it twice--one can now and once again in two weeks. This usually gets me through the summer before it starts getting musty again. Also, make sure you clean leaves and debris out of the ducting as much as you can. What you're smelling is seven years of dirt and bacteria built up in there.
