Oh my goodness you are a Godsend my man!!! I’ve had my 11 Ranger for about 13 years now, and maybe about 3-4 years ago in the middle of Covid, my AC airflow was starting to go down and these 3-4 past summers I’ve just been suffering and didn’t really have the money to take it in to the shop and I’d just ride with the windows down. I’ve looked up so many videos on YT in the past years and all they said was “cabin filter” and I’m like no Ranger before 2011 had one, or videos talking about the blower motor or resistor. But idk how I came across your video yesterday, I wish it popped up years ago! And dude it worked, followed everything step by step and magic!! I knew in my heart it wasn’t a serious AC problem because it’s been blowing out cold but just weak, all the speeds work, and I knew there was just a clog somewhere that’s preventing the airflow from coming through. Thank you so much man!! Saved me a trip/money from going to the AC shop and them probably ripping me off to change the whole AC system or lines whatever when all I really needed was to clear the screen! And mine was way worse than this video, it was almost completely black haha. Thank you thank you a million times 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

My 2007 Ranger has a silver Sirius receiver box in front of the screen so I couldn't even see the screen. I used a10MM socket on the bottom 2 screws holding the receiver in and had to rip the upper metal bracket since I couldn't reach the nut holding the receiver in place. Once I removed the Sirius receiver the screen was in plain sight. I just vacuumed it clean(packed with dust and leaves) and now the ac airflow is like new. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

My ‘07 Ranger was also not blowing ac well here in Florida. Thanks to your video I realized there is NO cabin filter to change. I just tore the screen out altogether!!! Also noticed the motor on that blower got pretty HOT fast and spent $35 to replace ot! Thanks for the video!!!

Thank you for the video! It was a great help. I was able to clean mine out from the glove box with a vacuum and a small stick, which definitely made a big difference. It only took about an hour to get it nice and clean. I had to keep turning the system on to get more debris out.

I have a 2009 Ford Ranger and never liked the idea that there isn't a cabin air filter. At least there's a screen but, it is horrifically bad engineering. Ford made absolutely no provision to service the screen. Inexcusable but, at least now I know what to look for and how to get to it.

Create a filter of your own since air is always flowing inward I would place a filter cut off from the motor side on top of the screen that you can clean and or replace every year

I have a MOUSE NEST right there in both my '07 Ranger & '99 B3000. Gotta clean it out, then spray Fabreeze in the intake to blow through system ducts. Mouse PEE STANK! ON MY 99 B3000 I heard the fan vibrating so I knew there was a mouse nest ON the squirrel cage.

PS...I found that my 96 Mazda b23 had no screen. When that recirc door opens, it's a straight shot to the fan. I probably just need a new fan. I'm happy to know that "Max AC" just means "Recirculate". That's useful info.

I've cleaned my screen a every year. I've done it so often with cleaners and wire brushes I ended up tearing the screen and now there's a huge hole. On the plus side, there's great airflow, in Vegas during the summer this matters. On the downside, I have no idea how long my blower is going to go without protection from the screen. Do you have any idea on how to replace the screen? Or if it's even possible?
@tongo117
@tongo117 Жыл бұрын
i have a 95 Honda Accord with no screen/filter to protect the blower and it's still going strong.. so if/when the screen on my Ranger turns to dust i'll probably just go without and take the blower assembly out every so often to clean it out..
