Eww that smell - something crawled up and died
When i turn on my interior fan it smells like something died coming out of my air vents.
Now my fan motor has this intense vibration with lower air flow through the vent as well.
I cant even use it because it smells so bad.
What do i do?????
Is there a schematic of how to open-up the ventilation system?

something probably did die inside it.
you would have to remove the dash board and clean the air ducts.
it involves taking off most of the interior parts including the carpet to get to all the eletrical connectors that's attached to the wires underneath the dash

Years ago I was installing a new fuel pressure regulator on my Cadillac and I left the hood up overnight. Came back the next day to find a mouse had died right on the throttle body underneath the air filter box;

Not sure if your model year is equipped with a cabin filter, but if it is than remove it and yu will have at least some limited chess from there. You'll at least be able to insert a vacuume hose or blow some pressurized air.

rat in the blower motor
I downloaded the schematic after following a link posted in this forum elsewhere - Kudos
I took out the blower motor (not very hard, just a lot of wire plugs to undo)
And behold it was there. Had to fumigate the whole core.

LoL, that's a pretty big animal to get in there 
The vibration must of been intense with that in there. I had a bunch of leaves in my Pontiac Trans Am's blower and it vibrated a bunch, just imagine with that in there..
