Thanks for saving me time and a headache. I went to look for mine and was frustrated when I couldn't find anything to slide. Looked up couldn't find it and your video popped right up. Thanks again!
Heck yeah I'm glad you saved some money bro! Thank you for your SUPPORT!
Thanks dude. I looked for 35 minutes before I checked your video.
Your welcome brother im glad this helped! Thank you for your Support 🙏
Holy smokes thank you!!! I was like “what in the actual?!” I couldn’t find anything saying I might not have an air filter. Now I have holes in the housing but : flex tape. Thanks again :)
George Thank you for making and sharing this video. You got me out of a big headache because I was going to spend time on it to find the filter on my 07 DGC SXT Minivan.
You are very welcomed! I'm glad this helped you out. Yeah its crazy how Dodge cut corners to save money. 🤑
I was looking for mines for an hour and looking at different videos and noticed that the bottom was different than the others now I know it's because it can't be removed or replaced thank you so much for your video
Your welcome I'm glad you found this useful, Thank you for your Support!
I have a 2005, and it doesn't have one either. Thanks for the video. It helped me know that I wasn't overlooking something.
Lol yeah thats what I thought too but then did some research and found it doesn't have one. I dont know why dodge would do this. Especially to a family car. Thank you for your SUPPORT!
I thought I was loosing my mind! Why they wouldn't add an access is beyond me!
Watched 3 videos before i got to yours, they said it had a filter. Wrong! Thanks for posting, I thought I was losing my mind.
Lmfao RIGHT! LOL THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
You should have named this video, "How to: Not Change Cabin Air Filter on a POS 04 Caravan without an access panel"
lol right
Lol I traded my my blew up car for a running one of these and the only issue I've had with it so far is the driver window is off track
I have a 2003 Chrysler town and country limited and thanks to your video I find out over the years that I can see where the location and like I say thanks to your video few years after I find out that I do have a filter on mine
A Dodge dealer told me to give him the last 8 digits of the vin, and ssured me there WAS a Cabin air filter. They LIED. They even gave me a part #.
Thanks to your video, it shows me that on my "top-of-the-line" 2007 Grand caravan, THERE'S NO DARN CABIN FILTER.
Prevented me from wasting more time than I already had. Thanks.
Lol your welcome bro! Glad this was useful for you thank you for your Support 🙏
Seems with a small wizzard tool you can cut the plastic out at the rectangle shape and now slide a filter in place...my 2005 sxt had dual climat and a 3.8 and had the filter
My 03 grand has no door only plastic area molded in place.....really dodge?
Too cheap to cut it open?
Your video is Very much appreciated I was looking to replace my minivan cabin filter and I couldn't find it. You sir save a lot of time thank you.
You are welcome! im glad this helped!
Well I finally found it thanks to ur video I just happened to have a 04 Chrysler t&c n'd surprise 'surprise, surprise good thing I didn't buy enything amen to that, thanks so much 4' ur video God blessed you have a great lovely day n'd merry Christmas happy new year 2023,amen.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! Hope your blessed this new Year! Thank you for your Support 🙏 Happy Holidays!
I have an 05 T&C and there is a slot under the glove compartment to the left. Just slide the lever and pull off the cover, pull out old filter and replace with new.
Thanks man I really appreciate you with this video cuz I was showing off looking for miles one day and couldn't find it thanks a lot that's what's up good looking 💯👍
For sure bro im glad this helped out. Thank you for your Support 🙏
Interesting to say the least! Thanks George for this video. You saved me a allot of trouble. I have a 2005 which is the same as a 2004. I stop looking after this video.
Lol heck yeah bro im glad this helped. Thank you for your Support!
Hey thanks a lot for this video definitely save me a little bit of work now you have to return the cabin air filter
Thanx man I'm glad this worked out for you. Thank you for your Support!
Thanks man, you saved me probably 3 hours of looking around!
You're welcome 🙏 im glad this helped!
Thank you for this video! Been troubleshooting for months and finally found your video!
Your welcome, im glad this helped. Thank you for your Support 🙏
It's my understanding that these cabin filters were optional unless you have both front and rear independent heating and air-conditioning controls. My 2001 grand sport has heat and ac controls on rear ceiling in the passenger area. It has a huge cabin filter in the exact spot this video shows
Wow no way, thank you for the info!
Thank you, I was so lazy to change this filtr, I'm going to get a coffee with bread instead....some conchas
lol hhhmmmm that Sounds yummy!
Gracias por tu video.!
I was exited because I was reading the auto manual and says "where the filter is" and nothing, not the glove compartment or under the dashboard now I see this video and yeah, no AC filter , thanks for your video
Yeah bro what a shame for Dodge. Im glad this helped out bro, thank you for your Support!
There is a cabin filter and you do access right where you showed it should be, I have the exact same van as yours. You have to reach in the slit and pull the filter out. It is installed vertically. Not trying to be disrespectful, I had to play around a little bit to figure this out. The filter was filthy! Thank you for making this video as I always say something good always comes out in the end!!
Yeah some DO come with it Some DO NOT. You more than likely had a higher model base that did have one. I've been working on cars for a while and would of SPOTTED the access latch. This had Solid piping no access Latch anywhere. Many have experienced this same issue. Manufacturers cut corners to save money. Thank you for your support!
@@559powerscape Well now. My wife has a 2005 Grand Caravan SXT (The more luxury model.) It doesn't have any place to open or place a filter. Kind of blows the pricier model theory though. I've cleaned out the cowl passages before but that's a pain. I wish it did have one.
@@vernfowlkes8110 dang man no way, freaking Dodge bro! Lol man that sounds like a mission! Thanks for the heads up! Thank you for your SUPPORT!
Thank you so much for this comment, I was reading all the other comments hoping that I somehow did have a filter and low and behold from you comment I found it and man was it nasty 🤮 thank you so much for the comment
@@vernfowlkes8110 ... Hi there ,,, I've also got a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT model . Can you let me know what you mean by ,,
Cowl passages ? ,,,,, Are you referring to some type of tubing , or airway passages that might be under the outside windshield wiper cowl covering ? ..... Thanks for any added info .
Thanks for the vid and confirming I wasn't crazy. Just bought a 2007 Grand Caravan and purchased a cabin air filter from Amazon and couldn't find a damn filter where it was supposed be. Unbelievable. Guess I'm stuck with the musty old lady smell these vans get after almost 15 years of use.
Yeah bro crazy, autozone sells bombs to clear the smell and help it fresh it out in the cleaning supplies section. Sorry bud
Thanks for this. I bought a filter and now know I don't need it.
Lol i know right, I did the same thing LMFAO 😂
Me too....just great!
Me ahorrasteis un mal rato. Gracias
Thank you. I appreciate it as i was looking for mine.
Your welcome glad this helped!
Thanks Bro... Im going to look into cutting it open and getting the 2 piece cover....
Lol heck yeah!
Zamn Dodge, I was trying to find a video on Changing out cabin air filter on My 2005 Dodge Stratus...
Thanks DODGE , my 05 is exactly same as you just show! Nasty crap is flying out the vents and I don’t know what to do
It smells like dirt, oil, ass, dust and antifreeze
@@sethlavinder Lmfao man bro I'm sorry! Yeah fucking DODGE right? The only thing I can suggest is use the RECYCLE feature on the Climate Control. Its usually what I do when I smell exhaust fumes or burning oil coming thru the vents. What it does is it Closes a lil flap that allows only cabin air to circulate instead of the ambient air. Give it a try and see if it works! Thank you for your SUPPORT! Sorry about the whole ass smell lol
Seth get a cheap pair of leggings or hose DO NOT USE THE WIFE'S IT'S A DEATH SENTENCE LOL take off the Cowell cover and place over where it is pinched over intake for HVAC it's not as good as a paper filter but it does keep out larger stuff
Thanks, I'm here at Walmart and the pit crew were scratching their heads along with myself trying to figure this out lol. Pretty pathetic that cabin air filters are not installed. There's gotta be a way to install one somewhere.
Lol yeah i dont know why Dodge would skip this, especially on a family car.
Thanks a lot. Mine, 2006 Chrysler town country, 3.3 litters, 6 cylinders....same as ...❤👍
Very nice!
I have a 2006 DGC and my cabin air filter was exactly where you said it was. I pulled it out and changed it. I'm surprised that your 2004 didn't have the same thing.
Yeah some units do come with one and some dont. I don't understand why Dodge would do this. Especially in a family car.
I have a 2005, that piece we may change?
@@martha754able I have a 2005 town and country it has one but mine has every option even rear heat so maybe only high end models
Muchas gracias ya tenia casi una semana investigando como cambiar el filtro de la cabina sin encontrar el compartimento según otros videos. yo tengo un Grand Voyager 2006 3.6 sin compuerta para cambiarlo
Thanks, it cost me 6 hours, under my car , everybody told me : you are crazy , impossible, look futher, it can be possible ;-) This movie tells me enough, only the title is wrong.
Looking for an interieurfilter in my Voayager (in 7.38 minuties !! Thanks and good luck (Frans, The Netherlands)
Thank you brother! Have a good weekend! From FRESNO CALIFORNIA
I purchased a filter that was listed as "compatible" with my 2003 dodge caravan se based off of the book at the parts store a few years ago and was perplexed when I went to install it. Still have the van and was wondering if I could go to the scrapyard and pull one from a more expensive and higher trim town and country and it it would fit.
I see why not, as long its the same design for fitment it should work
Thank u for your research in finding our that dodge
Your welcome bro!
thanks for the info saved me a lot of looking
Your welcome glad this helped! Thank you for your Support 🙏
Both my cararvans 2007 dodge caravan sxt and 2006 dodge grand caravan sxt both do not have the sliding plate to get into the air cabin filter it just appears as a solid piece exactly like yours. So wether there is one in there or not, I"m not sure but id doesn't appear to have access to it if there is one.
Yeah I don't think it has an access port. I don't understand why Dodge would Cut Corners
I just bought an 2005 grand caravan sxt! But I can't find any videos on changing it either!
Great video ! When the circulate interior cabin air button is pushed, where does the air get intaked from ?
Its usually right underneath the glove box in the passenger side, were the blower motor is located
Thanks I have a funky smell on mine to 4k later fix some of the issues but it still smells funky and I over think about it and now it gives me headaches trying to figure out what the f is going on
Yep. I bought a filter for my '05 SXT, and also found out the stupid thing doesn't have one. Yet I was allowed to order a part for the car like it would. Maybe a few do? Different trim model?
Yes u think it is for higher trim levels cause some reported that they do have one...I dont know why dodge would cheap out on this
... Bryan ,,, I've got an '05 Grand Caravan SXT model also . Am going to check mine tomorrow and see if it's there . Mine has the 3.8L motor ( I think ) .
thank you very much.
You're welcome!
Muy buen video
Gracias amigo!
Thank you for saving me the trouble, I’ve been looking for a cabin filter for like 20 minutes 😂😂
Your welcome bro!
Yea same here...
So how do u clean that shit outta there??
@@almightybunghole lol u can't. Thanks Dodge!
@@559powerscape what if I cut that open from the bottom? What's on the other side of the faux filter box?
just spray air freshner / lysol into the vent above the hood on the outside you were talking about. Do it as you have the AC running on high. That will kill the stink.
Heck yeah 👍 I like that quick fix!
My 05 SXT didn't come with one either. I think that's bogus considering air quality has become so important and promoted these days. I LOVED my 2000 Chrysler LHS(Which ironically didn't come with a cabin air filter either) but I HATE this 05 Dodge Caravan! I feel like I got a bottom of the barrel, minimalist vehicle. I will NEVER get another Dodge vehicle. The only reason I bought it was because my family was growing and my sporty LHS wasn't cutting it for a family.
Thanks!
I'm Glad this Helped!
Que gran video
Thanks for demonstrating how to install it. Just the virtual reality of seeing what I already see means nothing
Majora Cobra its under your hood of the van...
Got a 2007 DGC, same here bad burn oil smell is coming, I just clean the engine on top and underneath and is helping a little bit.
Use the Recirculating option on the Climate controls to just use the cabin air and not the engine bay were all the fumes are at
Same at Chrysler Town and Country 2005 3.3L XL
No way wow
Thank you! I've got a 2001 Dodge Grand caravan sport and I've changed the cabin filter in it. I tried to open the air filter access on my 2005 Dodge Grand caravan and I couldn't figure out how to access the cabin filter, it didn't seem to have a way to open it up.. now I know why! There isn't a way to open it because there isn't one. 🙄
Lol yeah I dont know why dodge would do this. Especially in a family car
I wonder if you could cut out the black part with the plastic part sticking out, purchase a slide out panel and be able to insert a filter in the space.
Lol I was thinking the same thing too
@@559powerscape well it you can do it let me know and I'll try it
@@rainbowbullstudioschristyl9582 lol I dont own the van anymore sorry bud
Thank you
Just cut that out with a dremmel tool. There are ways to do it. Amazon sells the kits as well. Just cut out the where the filter would go.
My 2007 Christler town and country does not have it. But my 2004 dodge grand caravan sport does have it.
No way that's crazy! Thank you for sharing.
Gracias por el video lleva como 2 meses buscando a cada rato y nada q encontré algún vídeo o así de la posición del filtro pero como dice usted los olores de aceite luego salen llegar ala cabina entonces si hay coincidencia mi camioneta es una voyager lx 3.3 v6 2006 por si alguien más se identifica
Thk you !!! F.... I lost 2 hours in walk I try change xd
lol your welcome
So how do you clean them? I think it should be cleaned some how 😕
I honestly dont know
Them how may I fill could when iit s hot?
Not sure sorry
I believe it... They sold it to me... I couldn't find it...😂😂😂😂
Lol yeah same here bro 🤣
❤❤❤❤
I had the same problem drove me nuts trying to find the filter hours later busted up knuckles leftover screws and a slew of cus words later there is no filter in the 05 grand caravan either
Lol yeah i dont know why Dodge would do that then the auto parts say it does 🤦♂️
Some did some did not
No wonder I dint find my cab air filter had the dash totally apart 😅
Lol yeah I did the same thing too. How crazy for Dodge not to provide a cabin filter box especially on a family car.
I run these vans for a taxi service..Just bought a plane Jane 2005 Dodge Caravan..Hand Crank windows..No Cruise control. There is sticks and leaves coming outta the vents.. And NO CABIN AIR FILTER.. This is the first one without one since 2004
No way, Yeah I have no idea why they would skip this filter. Especially on a family car
Great 😂😂
Our 05 Chry Town and Country does not have it,..base models, Dodge or Chry do not have cab filters.
So it does have the slot for it
This trim level did not. Other claim that theirs do while other clain they don't either
My 2005 doesn't have it.
Came here because I turned on my ac and heater (because I live in Texas🙄) and it smells like vinegar smh. I have a 05 Dodge Grand Caravan.
2007 Grand Caravan has one.
Yeah..my 07 GC has one too
Nope, my 2007 DGC SXT doesn't.
Donde se ubica el filtro de cabina de caravan 2003
No lo encuentro saludos
If there is one, its in glove compartment area. This caravan didn't have one. Maybe yours might not either.
Ok muchas gracias
Tengo una inquietud no encuentro el filtro de cabina de Dodge Caravan 2000 2.4 4 cilindro si alguien puede ayudarme
Alomejor no tiene como la caravan mia
Estas ven no tienen uno
Oh crud, is there not one under the hood? An air filter I mean?
Yes the engine has an air filter
The fourth generation 2001 to 2007 depending on the options that were chosen came with a cabin filter it seems more so the Chrysler town and country limited came them. In my experience my 2002s limited town and country in the caravan limited came with cabin filters and 2005 has no cabin filter it’s an SXT you think it would be simple for Dodge to just have them all have cabin air filters why they did that made it complicated not sure.Trying to save money obviously as most companies do but now you gotta manage which versions in the system one more thing one more detailed thing to manage about the vehicles truly how much savings other than not having an cabin filter.. that brings me to my next statement is the ones that don’t have cabin air filters that squirrel cage your fan unit Hass to be I would think clogged up or getting a clogged I’m gonna take a look at my 05
Thanks brother that's good info! Yeah I dont know why they would cheap out on this. Especially a family car
It's same thing happen when I asked to my friend when I should change my dodge carvan timing belt he informed me that there is no timing belt in caravan it's chane.
Yup chain driven timing chain
So much better to have a chain as long as you don't run your oil low the chain should not wear out
This is exactly what my 03 grand caravan looks like. Now it makes sense why theres not access panel like there should be. 🤬🤬
Lol right, u don't know why Chrysler would cheap out on this. Especially on a family car
@@559powerscape I have a dodge grand caravan 2003. I hate knowing there isnt one in there. But makes sense why the outside air is strong even on the recycle side of it. Makes me wish I still had my jeep.
Y como carajo cambiaste el filtro.????
No tiene filtro
It’s probably the heater core
Chrysler owns Dodge!!!!!
Yup they sure do!
I don't know who needs it but if you have a 2003 Chrysler Town & country LXI it indeed has an air filter
I have 03 Grand Caravan Sport im wondering is the filter in this model?
Im going to look under there and check around for it

@@earthbarnes6694 I don't know best to look
I have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country LX and it does not seem to have a filter or access.
@@earthbarnes6694 I have a 03 Grand Caravan Sport also and it does not have an access panel. Which does suck, once I learned that such a thing existed. lol I live in the dry desert and dirt is everywhere, so a cabin filter would've been nice.
Yeah my 2004 never came with one from factory
Dang thats crazy right especially on family car
@@559powerscape yeah I was thinking same I went to jiffy lube and they said there's no place for a cabin filter
Bruh I have the same problem. I was about to change my cabin air filter and I couldn’t find it underneath the glove box. Which there’s none. 😅
Yeah man i dont know why dodge would cut corners. Especially in a family Car
Same. "Replace the cabin filter" there is no accessible fitler like yours.
Lol I dont know why dodge would do that to a family car
@@559powerscape Hi. George, I saw your video today and I was in the same situation. I have a 07 DGC SXT minivan and it doesn't has the cabin airfilter installed. Everyday I smell the oil, fuel and something burning smell.
I was wondering if there is a mod available for a vehicle like this.
Well, people can say why spending money on an older vehicle but can't buy new at this time. So, got to live with what is available.
@@ktantv199 lol right. Trust, I know all about hard times. I suggest using the recycled air inside the car. It's the Button that turns on when you turn on the AC. To recycle the air inside the car. So the fumes from outside does not come inside.
I had work done on my 04 dodge caravan sxt 3.3, at pep boys and when time to pay i had asked how much for a cabin filter for it, which I intended to put in myself and was told $27 , I said no thank you. I just checked again to try and find it and never found it, and wondering why. Even some vids showed where it was. Then i came across this vid. Now I understand why I couldn't find it. This grand was same setup as mine. IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE. But pep boys was willing to sell me one. WTH!
LMFAO 😂😂😂 dang. Cause their just sales man's not mechanics. A lot of cars do have cabin filters, im puzzled as well as why Dodge cut corners and didn't install a cabin filter slot especially in a family van.
Why when it rains water comes through like where the air filter supposed to be my passenger Carpet be wet smh
Dude, no wonder I had to change my front blower motor. I bought an 05 Grand Caravan SXT 4 years ago and got it with the blower motor not working. F*ck dodge dude 😭🤣
Right i do t understand why they would do that. Especially to a family car!
Depends on what model you bought new if you went cheap they made it cheap.
On 2004 i font think was cheap....just they didnt put it like newest modres
my dad had a 98 durango and we have a 07 grand caravan sxt the way they put the connection for the rear cooling is terribble. Our audi is way better. I bet both of my dads 1969 camaro did better thinking lol
Lol yeah I have no idea why dodge would do that
Thanks for this was going nuts realize now there aint no cabin filter on mine.
lol right! Glad this help
And no gas filter on this car
Dang Dodge cut hella corners.
Its under the hood of your van bro...lolz
Travis LeBlanc yeah i check too. I did some research and some models do not come with one...crazy...
That's your engine air filter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dodge looked for ways to save a few bucks on the Caravan. After 2000 only the gauges and center console light up while things that did on the 96-2000 models like window & lock switches, mirror controls etc. Almost any car with steering wheel controls has them light up but not Dodge. I don't know why they don't just raise the price to cover the few dollars per car it would cost for lighted switches. It is also cheaper to make all models have cabin air filters than making different parts and making buyers feel cheated. My fancy 2000 SE is like new, 48k but no cabin air filter even with full options. Cheap, cheap!
i agree
