DeathScouter, You may have failed to locate the type of filter you expected, but you succeeded in saving me a lot of time learning to do this myself. And for that matter, you saved me a lot of money too. I see some sites trying to sell 2007 Liberty OEM cabin filters when they obviously don't truly exist. So thank you.

Oh no...don't call it 'failed' because you answered my questions about how to get into the windshield washer tubes!! Great video!!THANKS!!

Besides the lack of a filter, this video is a success. Thanks you.

Thank You, something else to check.. If you remove the glove box you will see another mesh screen in front of the HVAC housing which filters large debris in circulation mode. Mine was solid black. The shop vac removed the caked on dust on the newly purchased 03' Liberty and improved the recirculate AC tremendously. Thought I would mention it.

Appreciate your time in labor and posting this video. Saved me the time. 10 thumbs up :)

I have a 2003 jeep liberty and the cabin filter which I replaced is behind the glove compartment you just push in the sides of the glove compartment and lower it down theres a small door held shut with one screw lower the door down and you can pull it out

Pretty much every vehicle I've worked on these have been accessed behind the glove box and some were just a ten mm or a seven mm or 9/32 socket . Sometimes it's just a phillips head screwdriver or a torex t 15 or t 10. I believe in this particular vehicle there is no paper filter from the factory. Now on vehicle without this a guy can cut about an inch and a half wide door the width of the plastic housing to the heater duct work and take and run a machine through the sides with a piece of plastic or aluminum to allow for the installation of an actual filter and I've personally installed these and maintenance them and have encountered all sorts of debris ranging from lead particles , to the wirlybird tree seeds . I even collected a huge nut in one once where someone had tried to rig up the heater blend door and had taped a giant nut for weight onto the heater blend door. I was truly astonished on that one. I've encountered some that were just so clogged with debris that a person instantly could note the difference in air flow that had occured from the replacement.

Great video! Very detailed and easy to follow and understand. Thank you!!

Your project was not a fail you found out that there was no filter and that it needs or may need one so it is a good thing that you did it

I have a paper cabin air filter in that exact spot underneath the screen and above the blower motor once I took the screen off. (2004 Liberty)

I used this to clean the place on my Liberty. Hardest part was getting the wipers off. I will get a tool for next time. Those little clips in the cowl.... pay attention as they fit a special way.

Very good detailed info on how to get to that screen, thanks for showing how.

Thank you for your help. I did it myself thanks to you.

Good info. Thanks for posting.

Thank you. Very informative.

Very helpful this video, thankyou

you should rename the video seems there's no cabin filter

If you can find a seller in Europe Part number 1318.5382 is an external filter for the KJ BUT it actually installs in place of the screen and leaves the fiberglass material out in the open under the cowl cover. Might be easier to measure the opening under there and use that to find a filter to fit. Or take the inlet to a parts store and see if you can find one.

I feel theres no enough support for us 03 jeep liberty owners.. I have the limited which looks exactly like yours (I have leather interior which I'm not sure if you do..) however i live in Jacksonville, fl and when it rains it pours and if it pours hard enough my driver side floor is filled with water. Add 100% humidity to that and I might have some new biological creature growing under my carpet. I'm 6'3 260 lbs (I have a wide upper body from shoulder to should (this is one of those times I wish I never got into weight lifting.) But your video allowed me to see that some previous owner drilled a big hole on the driver side and that's why I constantly had water pouring in my jeep. I was able to cut some acrylic and use a plastic epoxy to seal this gaping hole up. Since then I've had zero leaks during the rain and it was all thanks to you and this video. I hope you continue to do Jeep Liberty repair videos. Especially for us 3.7 liter engine guys as everyone knows our engines constantly have problems. I'm actually on my 2nd engine due to the first one blowing a head gasket and it was amusing to see water shoot through where my spark plug was... not so amusing for my wallet. I found a decent mileage engine (had 34k on it) and between myself and 2 other awesome friends (shout out to A.J. and Aaron) we pulled the old and put in the new. I kept the old one as I just replaced the water pump, alternator, and my 6 pack ignition coils. I have it sitting in my indoor storage unit along with multiple other pieces. But I had never thought to remove that plastic piece until this video. I know you made this 4 years ago but it's still helping to this day. My frame has 181k on it and I'm sure I'll need to replace my started sometime soon, my upper control arms, I need to replace either my windshield washer reservoir or the pump (the lower ball joint broke and when the tow truck driver was pulling it he damn near took off my front bumper.) What's worse is 2 months after having both lower ball joints break (the 1st damaged my rim so bad it was unusable) and the second one I just explained it bust my windshield washer reservoir and/or pump. There was a recall on thelower balljoints. Thinking they would of fixed the damaged wheel and windshield washer unit they said no and only offered to replace the balljoints.. well I already had done that and with receipts in hand they even refused to refund me for having to replace them myself... I will never purchase another Jeep again be it a Wrangler, Patriot, or whatever. But I've spilled so much blood, sweat, and money over this one that it's hard for me to just let it go. What I'm trying to say is dont stop making your videos. They are watched and people gain knowledge from them. I for one cannot thank you enough. If you do decide to start making them again (meaning if you haven't sold or junked the current 03) then please keep the dream going for those of us on a tight budget with no brains on how this mysterious machines works lol. God bless and again thank you.

Thank you for the video.

Liked and subscribed!

What the?!! So what screens out the smaller particles?

Well worth watching.

very good information very good video

I would not say your effort was a fail. You removed the debree that was sitting near and on the the screen which probably did not help for bringing in fresh air or air flow. I would think for the rest of us, removal of the black pastic part with the plastic removable rivots and windshield wipers is sufficient to vacuum the debree against the screen.

gracias x la informacion eata bien claro el video

by watching this video I learned that it gets really messy down there. ..... time to clean it up. thanks.

Good Vid, thanks. You save me the frustration of digging into my ’04 and not finding a replaceable filter. One suggestion, get an assistant to do your filming. It’s a good thing the chair I’m in has arms or I would have hit the floor. Thanks again.

Very good video. Do you still have the 03 Liberty?

Good video I will give you some advice though always call parts store and see if they have filter for that model I have a 99 Suburban could not find filter I called and they said we have no listing for it I stopped looking for it then

Thank you!

Is this the same for an 06?

What a pain in the ass just to change a filter. No wonder people don't do it. Thanks for the demo.

Thanks for this. I had a mobile mechanic clean mine out & he said it was filthy & nasty. Also he sprayed an Anti-Bacterial to kill the moldy smell. It threw me off cuz the Jeep dealer tech said there wasn't a replaceable element. Now I understand

Pense que usaba un filtro de papel pero es una maya gracias

great video and I really appreciate it. one question, though. Is it the same with the Jeep Liberty 2009?

That's NOT the cabin air filter. It's located behind the glove box..it can be cleaned with a vacuum.

HI THANKS FOR VIDEO...IS IT POSSIBLE TO REACH HEATER CORE FROM THIS POINT?..

I have a question, I'm hoping you can answer or at least direct me. Our AC only blows when driving. If we stop at a light, no air comes out. Also, when driving, even if going 70mph, it blows very softly, probably like a level 1, it doesn't matter where we move it, all the way to 4 it still blows soft. When going 70, it's ok, it enough to stay cool but the moment we stop, the air stops. We thought it was the blower, ordered it, put it in and nothing changed. Any ideas or suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. Thanks in advance!

Would a dirty cabin filter effect the performance of your A/C?

From 5:15-5:30, if you look at that mesh screen there are 2 holes on both ends. Over in Europe those are the points that the paper filter will attach to. For whatever reason it is impossible to get those filters stateside.

hi, I am having the issue in jeep liberty 2004 sports edition, AC blowing in Defrost vent and not coming to from vents. and another thing is that while the AC is off still the air is coming from defrost vent and on feet. can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

hahahahahahahhahaha you had me dying there at 8:05 hahaha maybe there is a paper filter but it was taken out prior to you doing this??? IDK

That area has to be cleaned every few years anyway.. Rat shit and hair from there can produce allergies when you bring air from that area. It has a wire mesh. A filter can be behind the glove box. Some have, some dont.

tHEY need a paper element filter to filter out dirty air

HUH!!! Bro is inside 🤣

Where can I find the air filter on a 2003 Jeep Wrangler

am i the only one that think this guy sounds like hank from breaking bad?

Many times mice will nest in there, around here anyway, so it's highly advisable to wear a mask to prevent inhaling any mouse urine dust. Hanta virus has killed several people in 24 hours flat in my state (some locally) from sweeping dust where mice have been. So you don't want to do this without a mask - unless you have a death wish, LOL! Am sure your friends and family would rather have you here.

The filter is behind the glove box. Fyi

There is no hvac paper filter in a KJ. That screen is not a filter it is a debris screen to do what it did in the video. stop debris from getting into the hvac.

Once again. If is not in the manal.

Do you know what a tripod is ...shaking like F

😝😝😝 thanks anyway I wont be cleaning mine ever

go through glove box

Have you tried the following filter? Chrysler, Air Filter, 5019443AA They have it on Amazon from multiple sellers

I do not understand your video the cabin filter goes behind the blades that is why it is called cabin filter filters the air you breathe

Your CONFUSING?? Your video is for THE CABIN AIR FILTER !! Why the hell are you jacking around with the windshield wipers?? The Cabin Air Filter is inside the cabin next to the fins in the blower motor behind the glovebox that easily squeeze tabs and the glovebox is outta the way. The cabin air filter is there inside the cabin. That video made as much sense as wiping first then taking a number 2. Good job knob keep up the ripping of weatherstripping hilarious videos 👍🏼🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😜

Please change the title to: "NO Cabin Air Filter 2003 Jeep Liberty" and stop wasting people's time.
