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.

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.

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.

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

@abyssiniahenry128 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

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!

in Ford Fusion air flow goes up not down

@PYR-Auto Жыл бұрын

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.
