Where is the cabin air filter located in the Ford Escort?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Ford Escort is installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter will diminish. If replacement is needed, you can purchase a compatible cabin air filter from the auto parts market. Here's how to locate the cabin air filter in the Ford Escort: 1. Locate the cabin air filter under the dashboard on the front passenger side of the Ford Escort. 2. After removing the long, strip-shaped cover panel under the dashboard, you will see the cabin air filter.
I've been driving my Ford Escort for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. When you open the glove box, you'll feel a liner panel blocking the way. First, clear out any clutter, then look for any clips or small hooks. Press them down and gently pull out that panel to reveal the filter. It's a long strip that absorbs dust and odors over time, which can affect the AC performance. It's best to replace it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Changing it isn't difficult—just five minutes to save some money, and you can buy a matching model online. Remember to align the new filter with the arrow markings during installation to avoid putting it in backward.
