Mouse Help
I have had a little smell in the old '85 for a while now and I finally found the mouse dead in front trunk. I am still getting a smell however so I am thinking there is a nest some where in the car. I have done the quick going over in the trunk and in the engine, so my fear is it is deeper. Thoughts and suggestions on where and how to look?

I had one in my old truck...looked for a LONG time then one day found it inside the wiper motor area (fairly well protected and hard to access)
tore it all out, cleaned it and the smell instantly went away.
if it smells there is still stuff "somewhere" - keep lookin'

Yes, the car has been driven regularly. I turned on the blower today and that didn't change the smell or at least make it worse. Thanks all! I will report back.

Your nose may get stale after a few minutes. Walk away and come back after ten or so. Eventually you will narrow it down to one area. Remember, there are connections between the cockpit and the trunk, so don't neglect one area because you have the smell in the other. it will travel, but it will be strongest as you hit the jackpot.
