I'm trying to figure out how to replace the activated carbon air filter, in the cars environmental air system. Does anyone know how or where the filter element is. And, the approximate cost of said filter.

I just don't want to have to drop the car off at a dealer fior an air filter. And i know the vents aren't blowing as much air as they should. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Brian

 

I believe it's under the dash on the passenger's (RH) side. At least in my '02, that's where it is. Should be kinda a rectangle, long-ways side-to-side. If that makes sence.

Last time I got a filter, it was $19 at the dealership...

Agreed on location. Dreyer and Reinbold in Indy charged me $63 for the filter at the parts counter!!!!! Never again.

Black protrusion under the glove box, few clips but a &$*! to get out then the filter pulls out, take note of the bend replace the new filter in the same manner.

Advance auto stock the int air filters for much less; I pulled mine and have been running without for a few weeks since it is open window weather anyway, once we see a few days over 90 and humid I'll install a new one and kick on the A/C

 

Here are some cabin air filters for $15-26...
