2 minute project turned into a nightmare. Thanks Ford! Great video well done!
It’s such a pain in the ass
Omg, I was going to die doing this today😢😢😢
There’s a reason that NO ONE. Literally not ONE mechanic has EVER mentioned to me that it needed to be replaced or asked when’s the last time I had it checked.
Christ Ford, you sure made this easy. My previous Toyota was also behind the glove box and required no bolts or screws.
Just started working at a Ford dealership this Monday and was taught these filters today. Apparently that left screw always gets lost behind all the stuff trying to put it back in and most techs don't bother to retrieve it, the other 3 are good on their own. So if anyone loses it, just know 90% of the time ford techs do too and aren't too pressed about getting it back, so don't worry too much if any of you guys drop it and can't get it 😂
Hahahahha thanks for this !
That just happened to me😆
Yeah I just had a replace a 4th blender motor so was on that side. I have changed my filter. The blender motors are junk for ford and my ford fusion my ford's won in four years
Heads up for anyone stuck, there are 2 more hidden screws under the left and right side of the bottom of the glovebox. Removed those and the glovebox came right out.
Thanks for the help Davie
Someone please fire the dude who thought of that air filter placement at Ford! This is mostly the worst I've ever seen!
And beat the person with cabin air filters on the way out.
Wait until you change the headlights...
Came here to mention the headlights. There is a reason ford isn’t making cars anymore and focusing on trucks.
@@ralphstinson6133 - no kidding. Entire front end clip has to come off. Absolutely ridiculous. Love my 2016 Fusion but some of the maintenance work shows the poorest engineering design of any car I've ever owned.
It's really easy compare to light change....😂
Great video. Just shows how crazy these car designers make it to do SIMPLE maintenance!
I'm trying to find my 9 and 32 mill socket... I have a 9/32 of an inch lol. Just teasing man....thanks for your efforts. Everyone bitching about how bad this looks can go ahead and pay their dealer $30 or more for labor. Looks like a 5 minute job if that when you have both hands available, and aren't recording a video.
I lost it when he called it a 9 and 32 lmfao what a chudd. But still a helpful video in the end lol.
Thanks hubby is away and the dealership was charging me over $100 to do this. I spent less than 30$ at auto zone and took me about 15 mins to complete
Thanks. This was very helpful. Just finished that replacement and that filter was absolutely disgusting. No wonder whenever the air is on, despite using multiple air fresheners, it never smelled quite right.
We have owned a 2014 Fusion since new (Feb 2014) and I replaced this filter myself every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 20,000 km). Most were quite dirty. Be very careful not to drop any leaf debris into the fan below the filter or you will be trying to vacuum that difficult spot out. Debris in the fan will make some strange buzzing noises, trust me. I agree with everyone here that the Ford designer tasked with making the glovebox easy to hinge down well out of the way like my Mach E does, should have been supervised by a mechanic then sent back to school to finish a course on common sense.
Thanks for the video man. Always such a pain in the ass to replace the cabin air filter on this car lol.
They really make it so hard these days ! Glad my video helped! Thanks for checking out the channel!
I've just changed my cabin filter by watching your video. Thank you for making this video.
I’m super happy that this video helped!!!
Thank you! I’m not handy to put it mildly and this made it super easy. I really appreciate you!
"show you just how easy it is" in 74 different steps
Right I was think same shit
Really pretty simple as long as you can listen.
He had me at his “9 and 32 mm socket.”
That’s because it’s a 💩 Ford. Look at the 2003 & above Honda’s take under a minute with no tools nor removing parts.
@@marcdpadova146 Toyota's are very simple as well. I can only imagine what Ford service department charge for this procedure.
Got the job done. A bit of a pain but not too bad. Old filter was really plugged up. Didn’t bother to unplug the wire just propped up the glove box. Thanks so much for the instructional video.
Glad it helped
Thank you!! Liked and saved this vid. Ppl at Valvoline was confused
Well done! Followed you to the letter and it was a piece of cake!
Thank you so much for this! Just watched 2 others before yours and yours was the best! Changing it this week!
Glad it helped! Let me know how it goes !
Right to the point. Thank you. Wish a videos were as good as yours
This Was very Helpful in changing out the C A F in our 2019 Fusion Thank Y'all
So happy that it helped you!
Thank you. Never new my Fusion had a filter. Oops. So I just ordered one.
It will help a ton with air quality
Thanks for your video, I just changed my cabin air filter in less than 30 minutes on my 2019 ford fusion hybrid titanium. The glove compartment only has 3 screws. 2 on the top and one on the far right. Once you remove the glove compartment, there is no connector to unplug. I spent a little time searching for the fourth screw. Filter was pretty nasty. I will change it very more often. I had to trim a little the CF11775 in order to fit perfectly.
A clip fell out for me too. I don't know where it goes. Where did you put yours? So I can see if it's the sane for me.
I just changed mine in an 09 Honda and was looking to fix my moms 17 fusion. It took me under a minute to do the honda no tools needed. They make stuff so complicated nowadays
It's a Ford thing. I can change the one out in my '20 Forester without any tools. You literally just push in on both sides of the glove compartment, and it separates from its carrier. Then the filter is accessible right behind it. I could probably do it in two minutes, start to finish if I hurry. But Ford is too cheap to make a glove compartment that's capable of separating into two pieces like that so they make it such a difficult process.
Very helpful video thank you
Thank you 🎉 this helped me change mine
Watched this video, went out to the garage and completed the filter change on our 2019 SE Hybrid in 16 minutes. I'm a 67 year old man with trifocal glasses. This job isn't that bad. I did not have to remove the airbag screws, though the left side under dash glovebox screw is not the easiest thing to spot. Also note, my filter cover did NOT have any screws, the tabs were hefty enough that I think you'd have to be pretty brutal to break them, and, the lid was hinged on the bottom. Apparently, Ford made improvements along the way.
Again, if you have a little bit of mechanical sense, this job is not bad at all.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for commenting I am so glad the video was helpful to you!
We have two FFHs - first one was 30 minutes ordeal, second was 10 minute breeze after learning bolt size (7mm) and locations. Our 2014 SE has a light in glovebox, the 2019 SE does not....so one extra wire to be careful of. Neither of our cars had screws on the filter cover itself. Thanks!
This video helped so much ! Thank you brother
Sure thing! I actually am going to be changing the cabin air filter again today !
Great. Thank you, very useful.
Im happy to hear that this video helped you changed the filter on your ford fusion!
I noticed a filter behind the right windshield wiper motor on my '14 Fusion SE, what is that filter? What is it called and for?
Cool thank you
I just did this in my 2019 2.0 SE and there wasn't even screw holes holding the air filter flap, just the clips and there wasn't a wire harness connected to the glove box ether because there isn't a light LOL. But was still a b1tch to access the bottom left bolt , its hidden pretty good.
Thank you for your info. Now I know why people don't change it.
Hahaha yes they didn’t make it easy
Thanks 🙏
Thank you! I've just done it!❤
Thank you so much!!!
You’re so welcome !
What a PAIN IN THE A@@! Never have I seen a car so difficult to change the cabin air filter!
They sure dont make it easy!
Thank you for the video.
you are more than welcome! I am so happy that it helped!
Do u know the type of screws that hold the clamp in?
Honestly, took me less than 10 minutes to do the job. Thanks for the upload, it looked intimidating but it was a piece of cake.
I’m sure happy the video helped !
Does this have any effect on a/c performance
You skip right over the most difficult and annoying part: finding that left screw underneath. Every video on changing the cabin filter does that.
I thought I covered that in the video .
Yeah, for anyone else doing this. If you have a airbag down there, it's held on with four 8 mm screws. Yout must removed all 4 before you can get to that one 7 mm on the left side.
I knew something was wrong when the 7mm didn't fit in what turned out to be the airbag module using 8mm. You can get to the 4th 7mm without removing the 8mm screws but it's dark and blind - extended hand 7mm socket did it.
I just performed this on my 2019 Fusion hybrid. The cabin air filter change procedure is not as well designed as other cars where you just move a rod and the glove box drops down extra far, HOWEVER it's also not as much of a horror story as some commenters make this procedure sound. I watched this video once through uninterrupted, then I did this project right after. I took my time unfastening everything and it was fine. And by took my time... I figured this procedure out in less than 15 minutes. Note though, the final clips in this procedure holding the door over the filter tray itself are super flimsy. I did break the right one off easily while doing this process. And after seeing how easily that right clip broke off, I understand why someone made a decision to also have screws to hold the filter door shut in case you break off the clips as I did. That's over engineered because those last plastic clips are under engineered... Interesting note if you have the 2019 SE hybrid model: in my vehicle there was no wiring harness connecting my glove box to the car. When the glove box dropped, this was helpful because the box just comes out without snagging on any cable.
I mean it's really not that hard to change the battery on an iPhone, you just have to use heat and pry the screen off.
May seem unrelated, but we shouldn't be making excuses or justifying companies making things less repairable.
@@DilanGilluly It's a bad design for sure when many, many other cars have toolless designs for the cabin air filter. I can't change the design of the car, just filled in notes of my casual repair experience. Unrelated - but as it was broached - as a repair skill level comparison - Iphone screens are way, way worse than this job.
What’s a 9/32 mm?
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Question what if my switch keeps going on when i push it off. It keeps going on i turn it off. I shut the car off went back hr later started car and was fine. Down the road a bit the air went back on i pushed it off then it comes back on
Is my car possesed
Mine does the same thing and I react by turning it off but a few seconds later back on it comes. I too think my car is possessed.
Wix part # WP10084XP It came with very good instructions pretty much tells what you have shown us on your video . But i like your video like to see it done better then reading how to . Also it said it was for a 2013 but i have a 2019 and it's the same .It's made alot better then OEM. Note mine didn't have the 2 screws on the filter door or a wire connected to the glove box term package SEL.
Thank you for commenting! Glad the video helped !
Got oil changed at the Ford dealership. They changed the oil and checked everything under the hood. I asked if they checked the cabin air filter and they said no, that would cost extra. Even the dealership don’t want to mess with these.
Hahahahha yeah ford didn’t make it easy
Holy crap what a struggle! Ford is the new german maker.
Don't watch how to change the light, please. It will take you to NASA.
What size socket did you use to remove the screws?
I think he said 9/32 ml size but he meant 9/32 inch, see porkchop 1's comment above & tlover94's comment.
genius design
The worst of the worst haha
@@pickygarage xD
Well yesterday the no air was coming from the vents and today it's perfectly normal blowing like new . my professional mechanic friens said it's not the filter . it's the relay or blower motor
Can you please check the Amazon link? It says page not found
amzn.to/3naqAaB this one will fit
Thx body!
glad to help!
Be careful - if you have larger debris like in this video, that when you pull the dirty filter out you don't pull the filter against the top. If you do these debris can fall into the blower below and cause a really annoying noise and if it's knarly enough it can potentially damage the blower....
we slide a piece of plastic underneath as a 'catch all / fail safe' lol tho
Me overly caffeinated...
One instruction then pause to try on my own.
A Lott of pausing later to the comment section...to late
**sigh** I wish I would have read this comment before starting. Birds nest on top of the filter, debris all tumbled down in to the blower.
@@johncunningham997 sorry bro 🫂
The fan roars , growls now. I noticed the new filter you had has two or three cardboard
Something might have fallen down into the fan when you changed it
You had me at 9 AND 32 MIL.!! 😅
Changed mine! Took 15 minutes. I did however break one clip getting it out and it went flying and then when I went to put the cover on the other side broke. There weren’t 2 screws in mine but looks like there should have been. I’ve had the car since new so it’s never been changed. It was gross
I bet it was! Mine was pretty bad as well!
What if a nut shell falls down into the fan 🤔
That would have been a problem for sure!
Meanwhile, I can change the one in my Forester in 10 minutes or less, without any tools other than my bare hands. This is ridiculous Ford. Do better. (reason why I'm watching this is bc I may have to change it soon in my parent's Fusion)
I had my ‘14 for 4 years and was taking it to the dealership I bought the car from for oil changes and tire rotations before they ever told me about the cabin filter needing to be changed. I was unaware my car had a cabin filter, always thought that’s what the air filter under the hood was for 🤷🏼♀️. Pretty sure the cabin filter needs to be changed again because it hasn’t been changed since 2018. The dealership doing a rush job to put the glove box back in could be the reason the door to said glove box isn’t flushed closed anymore.
what size are the bolts?
9/32 think he mentions it. Woops
I think they are actually 7mm … cars are all metric
Did you know that the link to Amazon store is the wrong filter. Not the CF1175 !
Thanks for the heads up the links been changed
He said "side piece". I laughed.
Hahahahah I love it
My filter has the letters upside down and the arrow pointing the other direction. Confused
If you look closely at my video you should be able to recognize the correct way the filter should look going in. Let me know .
The arrow should point down. That is the correct airflow direction.
I need to replace mine 😬
This is the video to do it!
That's why my Ford dealer never try to sell me cabin filter change service
Lmao 😂 fr.
I thought I was at Lego Land. Thanks
Very good video... Little bit too much for me....... I will live a little longer with the dirty filter....
It’s really not too bad !
ok im not doing all that to change one thing. As soon as i hear a bit of rattle from driving after changing it im going to be pissed
Hahahah I don’t blame you
Using a selfie camera holder works great when you only have two hands.
7mm is the socket needed it you don't have the 9/32 socket.
It's not A 932 mill it's A 9/32 inch socket Other than that good job
So apparently this must be the reason why my air conditioner is fogging up my windshield window because of this filter like this filter need to be changed The air is Flowing correctly Looks pretty hard to me I hope I could find someone to do it instead of taking it to the dealership wish me luck
You can do it!
Unnecessarily difficult. What was Ford thinking?
I couldn’t agree more !
I broke one of the tabs on the filter housing 😂
I have heard this happening a lot to people.
Why did Ford make that so difficult to change?
I really do not know! But I agree it could be easier !
So you will pay $150 to have one of their mechanics do it for you
@@DorktimeBwuds hahah that is so true !
Holy smokes, I found a mouse had cut a hole through the filter and tons of debris went down the hole. Lets hope for the best.
This is the best story yet hahah crazy what you’ll find in there
That’s a mission to change the air filter 😅
Sure is !
It's so easy on the Toyota rav4 no need to do.all that Ford makes it more hard
Yeah I agree I feel like other makers make it so much easier to do !
Same with Honda.
Just open it, hit the tabs to drop the box, two more tabs to remove the cover and all done.
Am guessing Ford will change it up in their future models.
“More hard” 😂😂
Yes and why does it have to be so many steps just to change a cabin filter. Changing it took me as long as getting out an air blower on the same car. Screws on the bottom especially the one on drivers side were not easy to get to.
So you pretty much have to take apart your whole glovebox just to put a new filter in lol.
Why Ford designers thought they will make the simplest task to be this much complicated? Toyota cabin filters are replaced basically within 20 seconds and no need any tools
OK watched to video on this. On said 7mm bolts this guy said 9/32 mil.
Has anyone ever heard of 9/32 mm? Second he said screws. They are bolts. A screw driver takes out screws a socket takes out bolts.
9/32 is not mil it sea other wise would have been just 9mm
Thanks for the assist !
Nobody puts "6 cylinder" or "4 cylinder" in their titles when they make videos about the Fusion. I have to watch it for multiple minutes before it becomes clear which one it is. This one doesn't work for mine.
WTF... my Saturn was open the glove box. Pull the sides in to get the glove box out of its track and drop it open. Insert filter and close the glove box. DONE
Yeah it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world
and how many 2021 Saturns are being sold today?
@@ibkruzen about as many 2021 Ford Fusions... so your point is what exactly?
@@PtrOBrn chill, Ford is still a brand and Saturn is GONE!!!
It’s a DYI video
What's DYI 😕
Fram worst filters of any kind on the market. Wix is the best PF tested.
I will have to give those a try thanks for the suggestion!
It’s 8 mm not 9/32nds
I messed it all up lol Thanks for the assistance.
R U kidding ME!!!!
It’s such a pain in the butt ! I just changed it again !
9/32 inch, not 9 and 32 mil.
No shade at the creator of this tutorial but Ford design that to be hard to replaceable simple filter. They could of just as easily added an under dash slot to pop out the old filter. Having to remove the glove box is ridiculous
1:45 "9/32 mm" ...lol
Yeah messed that one up lol
Would have been too hard for Ford tu just cut a hole in the glove box....
Right !
Jesus! Why didn’t they just put it in a ziplock bag inside the fuel tank?
Omg I hate this model of fusion! Everything is over complicated!
I broke all my prongs doing this
I respect the diy for sure but my dealer replaces them for $35....
That's a nice dinner date
You can buy the filter most places for a little more than $10.
That's a savings of $20 or more. It's the difference of a half tank of gas here, at least for the moment.
Most people don't make $35 an hour, so yea, that's a lot to pay for a 10 minute job.
Nine thirty seconds…. 9/32
messed that one up big time haha thank you for the correction.
Yup. My next car will certainly be made by Toyota.
Hahaha they do make great reliable cars
Good for you. In the meantime, I'll be driving a car with a powerful engine, modern features, and a platform less then a decade old. Boohoo, I have to spend 10 minutes taking out an air filter for the Fusion...
