Q: Where Is the A/C Filter Typically Located?
A: The A/C filter is usually behind the glove compartment. You can access it by removing the box from the fasteners holding it in place.
For some vehicles, the filter is under the hood. If this is the case for you, simply lift the hood and remove the plastic cover to access the filter. The filter could also be somewhere beneath the dashboard.
The A/C filter traps contaminants, like dust, dirt, and mold, to purify the air you breathe in the cabin. It gets clogged over time, limiting its effectiveness and affecting your ride’s interior air quality.
Tips on How to Access the A/C Filter
The owner’s manual that comes with your vehicle should have all the necessary information regarding the A/C filter. This includes where it’s located, how to remove it, when to replace it, and more.
Also, note some manufacturers opted not to include an A/C filter for some of their models. So if there’s nothing written on the manual, chances are your car doesn’t have it either.
