Similar to many modern vehicles, the cabin air filter in the 2017 Ford Explorer is located behind the passenger side glove compartment. To access it, you will need to release the compartment by disengaging a few clips securing it in place, revealing a thin plastic cover behind it. Simply remove this cover, take out the old filter, and insert a new one. Typically, you should replace the filter every 30,000 miles to ensure optimal performance. This maintenance task is crucial as the filter helps prevent pollutants, dust, and pollen from entering the cabin through the HVAC system. Fortunately, these filters are affordable, usually costing less than $15.
The 2017 Ford vehicle doesn't require an air filter replacement as it doesn't come equipped with one.
I own a 2017 Expedition Platinum and I can't find a cabin filter behind the glovebox. The airbag occupies all the space in the dashboard area.
I heard that a 2017 Ford Expedition doesn't come with a cabin filter. Why does the main response focus on changing an Explorer's cabin filter instead?
I am also having trouble locating the cabin air filter.
