In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the cabin air filter in the Ford Explorer, a very simple and quick operation. Since the filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, first, you will need to unclip the drawer.

To do this, disconnect the end stop cable on the right, unlock the rear clip, and lower the drawer as much as possible. Once you have access to the filter, open the long rectangular cover and proceed with the replacement, ensuring the new part is positioned correctly.
