2013 Sienna. Saw some poop and cracked acorns on the engine cover and around the engine bay. So naturally I decide to change the CAF as a precaution. Take the damn thing out and the CAF has so many turds and acorn shells on it it spill down into the blower motor and all over the floorboard.
After cleaning it up, removing and cleaning the motor, vacuuming, wiping everywhere with Lysol, I decide to crank the HVAC....set it to outside air and bombed the intake under the wipers with Ozium to hopefully disinfect the ducts a little.
So this might be the grossest thing I've ever had deal with for any car. Worth tearing apart the dash and DIYing for additional turd remediation, or take it to the dealer? Hopefully there isn't any wires eaten.
