Default Dead mouse

I know that I have a dead mouse in the area near the blower fan I can hear something clicking on the blower and it smells horrible. Whats the best way to get this thing out of there? The A/C system is sitting right in front of where the access are to the blower. Is my only option to take the whole dash out?

The most access to that area with the least intrusion is through the engine bay- remove the blower motor (passenger corner) and pull it towards the front of the XJ and upward.

That is if your a/c compressor isn't sitting right in front of it right?

Hook it to a 10 amp charger, set the blower on high, the ign on accessory, and let it run. People who eat prosessed food are eating rodent parts and poo and roaches every day. A little "mouse dandruff" from the blower aint gonna hurt you.

Do you have ABS? That might not be the AC pump.
