What is your question?
My Aviator is giving out this Horrible smell when running the AC and only the AC... like wet carpet, or moldy type of oder. It is very embarracing. I need to know where the filter is to change this out or get something to flush the system and clean this out thoroughly. HEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!

I don't see a cabin filter for your vehicle but if you search on google ( AC Evaporator odor ) Looks like a lot of sprays available from the dealer to kill the bacteria thats causing the odor.
You A/C Coil (also known as the evaporator) is buried inside the dashboard and very difficult to access. And like hemicuda mentioned, the odor is from a bacteria growing on the evaporator, and some of the sprays are meant to kill the bacteria, so you are not masking the problem, you are removing the source of the problem. You may consider taking your vehicle that specializes in A/C work to address this.
It is funny you mentioned take it to AC Specialist..I just spoke to one yesterday and he called me this morning and he is getting me something to treat this. I appreciate your assistance...HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!!! :)
I found some forums that mentioned that this was a issue with AC Coil having mildew on it. Is there a way to clean the AC Coils? So I may get to the root of the problem, instead of masking? Thank You for your timely response.
