The cabin air filter in the 2003 Ford Explorer can be found behind the glovebox and should be replaced every 12,000 miles or sooner. Signs that indicate the need for a replacement include musty smells in the car, weaker airflow from the AC and heating vents, whistling sounds, and reduced effectiveness of the HVAC's defrost and defogger functions. Cabin filters are responsible for keeping out dust, debris, allergens, and pollen, while engine filters ensure a cleaner air/fuel mixture, improving engine performance and fuel efficiency. A dirty engine air filter can lead to fouled spark plugs and difficulty starting the car, so it should be changed every 12,000-15,000 miles. The cost to replace the cabin filter typically ranges from $70 to $100 for parts and labor.
