Where is the cabin air intake located?

Having issues with my dump stinking up the cabin so i wanted to block off the intake and use recirc all the time. Anyone know exactly where it is?

Pull down your glove box, I think you can see it from there...

On the cowl near the windshield wipers, then routed through the cabin air filter which is located behind your glovebox.

If you want to use recirc, his the HVAC recirc button, no need to block anything off.

The cabin filter is behind the glovebox. Closing the outside intake air supply is probably not a good idea if your windows are all fogged up. But you can just close the fresh air flap manually and disable the motor that opens and closes it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I will just close the flap manually. I think the the recirc button on my car does not close the flap all the way.

I also think i have an exhaust leak somewhere which needs to be addressed. That is probably the bulk of what causes the nasty exhaust smell under hard acceleration.
