The cabin air filter in the 2015 Ford Escort is located behind the plastic panel near the left leg area of the front passenger seat. Here are the steps to replace the cabin air filter for the 2015 Escort: 1. Insert your fingers into the plastic panel near the left leg area of the front passenger seat and gently pull it outward. 2. After opening, use a screwdriver to remove the screws inside and take off the plastic panel. 3. Once the panel is removed, press the white plastic clip to disconnect the lighting control wire. 4. After disconnecting the wire, press the black plastic clip to remove the old cabin air filter and insert the new one. 5. After replacing with the new filter, reinstall the plastic panel by reversing the removal steps.
I just helped my friend replace the cabin air filter on his 2015 Ford Escort. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When you sit in the passenger seat and open the storage compartment, you'll notice two clips securing it to the frame. First, squeeze both sides inward to completely detach the glove box, revealing a rectangular cover behind it. This cover has a small tab - just gently pull it outward to open. The filter slides inside, but be careful with the arrow direction to avoid installing it backwards, which would affect filtration efficiency. Actually, DIY replacement is quite simple and can save you about a hundred bucks in labor costs. Just be patient when removing the glove box - avoid using excessive force that might damage the plastic components.
