    What a pain to replace. My wife has a 2018 Focus. Compared to the air filter in my Hyundai Accent (under the glove box), this is wild.

      Changing out the battery is even worse. You have to take out the entire air box just to get to it.

    Having to bend the filter to put it in is HORRIBLE for the integrity of the filter. Ford made sure to make this maintenance item a hiccup for people. Shame.

    My ford focus had some weak AC airflow and I thought to change the cabin air filter first (thanks for the help!) although it was very over due for a new filter unfortunately this didn’t solve the weak airflow issue do you have any ideas?

    Hello I fixed mine one month ago. They changed the hose and recharge it was fine for one month, from yesterday is blowing air cool just a bit cold but not as before.. so in front of the sun you don’t feel the cold air, just air but not warm.. what do you think it could be? Thanksss ford focus 2013

    -Hey mister Ford, where we should put this piece of equipment that needs to be replaced from time to time?

      @@HomeOwnerRepair I just changed my filter, and indeed unplugging those connectors made it significantly easier. They just swing out of the way, allowing the filter to line up much better with the slot.

    to reinstall the plastic cover, once the part was roughly in place, I used a long flat blade screwdriver to shove the top of it into the upper slot to get it seated. getting the cover seated was the hardest part. also make sure you have a magnetized torx bit and holder.

    This is the worst thing in all of humanity to replace. If you have to watch this video to do it, don't. Labor cost is less than the pain and suffering associated with this job.

      The oil place I took my car to said this service would cost $200 bc it was a difficult process compared to other cars. This looks simple enough to do on your own. Only reason we have to watch a video like this is because in most cars, it’s just in the glove compartment, but on focuses they had to be difficult 😭
