A/C Musty Smell
I have that typical musty smell coming from A/C upon startup. After the A/C runs a minute or two, the smell subsides. I have seen several posts on here about cleaning out the drain lines for the evaporator and someone posted pictures and a step by step process which seemed like a lot of work as well as time consuming.
Does anyone have any simple fixes to unclog these lines?? I was wondering if its possible to put the car on a lift and from the bottom, use a metal fish or wire and push through from the end of the line clearing any blockage, working your way toward the beginning of the line.
Any comments?

Sad thing is is that I only have one dealership near me and they are trash. Long story short, they worked on my car for warranty which they "forgot" to put all of my panels in my trunk together after they finished replacing parts. I got rust out of it, missing clips, and lost time because of them. Never heard an apology once. I'll stick with working on my own cars. Sorry for the rant. I really really hate this dealership's techs/service.
