Leave it to Ford to make changing a simple filter require removal of 60% of the dash. Thanks for the video.
Seriously! I was expecting something straitforward like with my old Prius (just unhinge the glove compartment and the air filter panel is accessible underneath - no bolts or screws to remove, just one piece of plastic!)
It’s like they don’t really want us to service this ourselves
It’s basically Ford’s way of trying to make the job more impossible for someone & then they’re forced to take it to the dealer.
@@davef.4812 2008 Taurus is exactly as you described! I’m so disappointed. But not surprised, as officer said this is to try to force
Dealership work. No way was I paying $80, I’ve always done this myself.
Yep! And if you want to change a headlight the bumper has to come off!
@@davef.4812gm does the same for the trucks
This video is perfect! Thank you for this tutorial! I feel so empowered when I do my own small maintenance!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you so much🌹. Your video made it very easy to get to the filter. Your in depth simple English explanation ROCKS 👍
You're Welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. The hardest part for me was aligning and putting the glove compartment on track.
You're Welcome!
THANK YOU! I was able to do this myself instead of paying Lord knows what at a mechanic
You're Welcome!
I always slide a cut piece of thin boxboard in underneath the old filter before removing it. I was changing one of these filters and it had a large mouse nest on it and without the boxboard barrier all that debris would have fallen down into the fan assembly which would have been a real headache to clean out. I was able to vacuum the debris off the boxboard once the old filter was gone without contaminating the heater air flow system.
Just replaced the filter on my 2020 Fusion SE. I didn't have an electrical clip that needed to be disconnected nor were there any screws on the filter face, just two side clips. I bought the Fusion new from dealership so I know they were not installed at the factory. It wasn't too hard to replace the filter but next time I will have it done at the dealership because I hate Ford technicians.
Extremely helpful!! Thank you. What a pain for no reason at all
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
I am mechanically inept and was able to pull this off. Thanks for the tutorial!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Clear and concise. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I was able to change my cabin filter (2017 Ford Fusion) using this great video! Thank you! I am not mechanically inclined at all and used a butter knife to remove the trim . Nothing broke, and I saved $50 doing it myself.
Nice!
Thanks for this video. It made the job easy.
You're welcome!
Your video was very helpful to the point , thank you very much hardly any commercials exllent job 😂 !!!!!!!!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Great vid and straight to the point. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you! I have a 2017 Ford Fusion and the guys at Firestone just recommended that the cabin air filter be changed again. I will say that if you run the fan without turning on the AC button the car sometimes gives off a sour smell. It's done this for years.
Great video. OMG what a PITA.
Thank you, much appreciated video!!
You're Welcome!
Really appreciate this tutorial. This is the 2nd one I've watched from you(my impala) about the filter. Ford tried to make this hard I see.
Glad it helped
Well done my friend. Great video. 👍
Thanks!
thanks - very well done !!
Thanks!
Very good video!
Thanks!
Great video.
Thanks!
What's with Ford and 7mm screws. Thank you for the video
Just changed out the factory filter....no Philips screws at all. 10 minute job once I realigned the glovebox tabs/screws a second time. Will be a 5 min job next time. Man, was the old filter was black and full of leaves.
🙂thanks
You're Welcome!
Thanks for great detailed video!!! ….meanwhile my brain is like, “really Ford…REALLY??!!!!”
You're Welcome!
I was told that replacing the filter just requires unscrewing the back of the glove compartment. I guess ford has to be different. Thanks for all the help.
Glad it helped
My Honda Accord cabin air filter is much more user friendly. Three minutes and you're good to go!
Yeah, I thought this would be like changing out the cabin filter in my Prius, but all that required was unhinging the glove compartment door to access the panel - no bolts or screws to remove.
I am really unimpressed at how much work this involves!
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 15 Fusion SE 2.5
Any chance that you know the size of the screws for the access door of the cabin filter?
I don't, sorry
For the four seven millimeter bolts, can I use a wrench to take them off and put them back on?
you can try but I don't think a regular wrench will fit
I found a nut driver to be so much simpler
Use the trim tool to remove whatever scratched the hell out of the glove compartment door from the vehicle.
After watching this video I changed the filter on a customers vehicle in front of them. Watching the horror on their face as I rip apart the dash made my day
lol nice
How often do you recommend changing this filter?
I usually just go off of how the filters look but it's generally recommended to change them every 10,000-15,000 miles or once a year.
@@PYR-Auto thank you
It's based on the environment the vehicles driven in. If you live on a dirt road, you'll be replacing all your filters frequently. I a city environment, the particulates are smaller and usually once a year is appropriate. A new carbon activated filter will make your air more pleasant!
@@kurtbradley2590 thank you
I notice when I get out of my 2015 ford fusion titanium with 52,000 miles that my hair smells like exhaust or something. I just started noticing this in last few months. Is that due to dirty air filter?
It typically doesn't have an exhaust smell when dirty but if the cabin filter has not been replaced recently it might be a good place to start
@@PYR-Auto thanks!
Is your Fusion AWD?
@@abyssiniahenry128 yes it is
@@OxsanaAriadneValentina If it's a very noticeably unpleasant smell it could possibly be that your AWD PTU (power transfer unit) fluid needs changed and you're smelling it breaking down. Or you have an axle seal leak where it enters at the PTU and it drips on the hot exhaust and burns away and that's what you're smelling. If it's a sweeter smell you could have a coolant leak in the engine compartment and when it burns off the smell enters the cabin. Pretty much any fluid leak in the engine compartment will produce a smell as it burns off. AWD PTU's are supposed to have "lifetime fluid" but there are many cases where the fluid sludges and burns up the PTU. They really get hot where they are located and fluid should be changed approx. every 35,000 miles ideally. They are often overlooked or neglected. Hope this helps you diagnose.
in Ford Fusion air flow goes up not down
incorrect - the airflow goes down. If your filter only has an arrow but does not say the words "air flow" then the arrow is installed pointing up, but the air flow is still going down.
@@PYR-Auto great, thanks
Thank you. I put mine up and now dust is flying everywhere and my allergies are making me miserable
Ford is making hate him every time I'm facing a basic routine stuff
I will never buy a Ford again in my life. They're so much more complicated than they needed to be.
How so? Watch a video of how to replace a cabin filter in Any other car. You will be shocked.
@@kylehayes6432 I did it on my toyota and Chevy, it was so much easier than Ford.
The 750i is a nightmare!@@kylehayes6432
Ridiculous.
What a shit design by ford. Just like changing the headlights.
Thank you bro for your help
You're Welcome!
