Question Why Does My AC/Air Smell Like Wet Mold?

Since day one that i have owned my s14, my AC/Air has smell funny......like a moldy smell........it makes me feel like i have a crapy car b/c it smells like wet mold. The smell only comes when i turn on the Air or the AC. Its really not that strong of a smell, but it is a smell that everyone in the car can smell. Does Anyone else have the same poblem? And is there any way i can if this Problem? Any info would be great. Thanks.

It is caused by moisture accumulating in the blower housing.

yea it's the moisture. just turn the fan all the way to the strongest and hottest setting and let it blow for 1min. then it should be fine.
