Looking at that picture of the mouse in the blower, I would revisit the cabin air intakes and any air hoses that run into the cabin. If you are not using the car much, put some camphor balls (moth balls) in a sock and put it where you see the droppings. They HATE that smell and will probably move on...
There is also a poison bait you can get that when they eat it the mice become desperately thirsty and will head outdoors in search of water before they die.

I would use traps around the car, never poison. The last thing you want is a poisoned mouse deciding to spend hs last moments on earth inside your car. They tend to whiff a bit as they decompose.

When Mother Dear was alive she had cats living everywhere,particularly in the garret.
They would generally choose the most inaccessible places in which to meet their maker.

Eventually, though, you could sniff them out...

My turds are the ones with corn in them.

Last fall I changed out the A/C evaporator and because of the mouse problem I payed much attention to paths in the area they could use to get in. There were none when I finished, but I found none when I started.
Where are the cabin air exit vents? The car is a '95 124 wagon.
I hesitate to put out poison because the critters could climb into the car and die.
