Why does the ac on a LS430 smell like dirty socks even when it is using the fresh air intake?

Answer

use a coathanger to clean out the ac drain. It is a hose coming from inside the vehicle on the passengers side near the firewall that allows condensation water to exit the system. It sounds like yours is plugged and the water is nasty.
