Today we are installing a cabin air filter. The steps will work for 2011-2017 Jeep Wranglers. A cabin air filter is great in preventing dust and dirt from getting inside you HVAC box and a must have in my book if the vehicle is driven off road. It prevents the A/C evaporator from getting coated in dirt when driving off road. A wet evaporator (condensation) and dirt will create a "mud wall" that will prevent air from flowing thru the evaporator fins.

Great video--so refreshing to watch a video where someone is using good lighting.
Great video. You explained everything very well and completely, unlike many others. You brought it down to the average user without making us feel dumb or leaving out steps the experts always seem to do. If you have a video on installing oracle LED lights with integral Halo LED ring to act as a running light I would certainly be interested.

Your video was #1 in the "Cabin filter Jeep Wrangler" search results. I'm glad that I clicked on it. I wanted to see if the previous owner, before giving it away to the stealership, had installed a K&N washable filter before buying one. When I looked inside, I realized it did not even have a cabin filter. Either it didn't come with one, or they just took the K&N filter and sold it on the side. So I went to this video to make sure that I wasn't crazy in not seeing a filter of any sort. I did see the white door close shut. I quickly realized what it was as it reminds me of the recirc door that my dad has on his 2010 Nissan Frontier that is always trying to close and has this horrible clicking noise after closing. So I knew that I had to press that recirc button to open it back up due to my dad's Nissan.
Thanks for the crystal-clear explanation.
Excellent I asked my friend if he ever changed his. He said the dealer told him his Jeep doesn’t have a filter cabin filter. I sent your video to him. People are wearing masks for Covid 19 but have dirty filthy air coming into there vehicles.

Very true....some never knew they had one.
Perfect installation instructions. Because if your videos, I changed my serpentine belt and installed my cabin air filter in my 2016 Rubicon today. Is appears that one was not installed from the factory. The only issue I had was, I had to leave my key on so the door would stay open. Other than that easy peasy. Thank you.

Thank you for your easy-to-understand and straightforward video. I am impressed with your camera views, they are very clear and make it easy to see what you are doing. A lot of other videos have less than adequate video work and for a DIY-er like me, being able to see is important. I'm heading over to Amazon.com right now via the link you provided. Thank you.
One of the best vids I've seen. Simple language and good video quality. Thank you for doing this!
By far the best explained video. Thank you.
You do so great with every step. Please do one for JK passenger side Blend door actuator. Even if I could use unplug it. Being left in recirculate would be fine.
Great video. I was not aware not all of them came with the cabin filter installed. I will have to look. I just purchased my 2014 New/Old Stock Rubicon.
Great video. First time Jeep owner. It is a used Jeep and smelled pretty funky. Followed your lead and everything turned out great! Thanks. If I run into any more issues I'll see if you have more great instructions
Wow! This is what the dealership and shops charge so much to do? I immediately subscribed after viewing this video. Thank you! I also sent you an email re: an issue I’ve been having with my Wrangler for the last few months. Look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again!

hello good video but you should have checked the actuator for increments between full heat and full cold as I replaced one . the new part would only got full open or full closed no blending in between so the part needed to be changed twice
What a great explanation!! Thank you so much.👍👍
How about a video showing the exterior intake ? And fitting a hardware cloth screen over to keep mice out so they dont build a nest in the air filter.
Awesome, finally cut dried and to the poinr

If it wont move when the keys on and recirc is turned off and on then you may have an actuate issue and need to get that checked out.
Excellent thanks
great video thanks .
My Jeep is a soft top convertible with soft doors. Through summer to mid autumn, the roof and doors are completely off. It may rain. It may be dusty. It may get filled with leaves, bugs, seeds, and small branches. It has no sissy cabin air filter.

7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Roberto. I currently dont have a video on the Wrangler for the spark plug removal. Alot of the steps are similar to the ones on the Charger but there are some differences when removing the upper intake. I need to eventually do a video on that due to the steps involved. Its just too hard to say in words....a video is needed. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Thanks, Dave! I bought a cabin filter but after watching your video I realized that what I actually probably need to replace the recirc filter! I did a lot of dusty Jeeping last year and now anytime I use recirc it seems to blow slightly dusty air. Is that a tough replacement? Also, I'd like to second Anony Mous request for fixing the e-brake. I have two 2013's and the e-brake doesn't catch properly on either of them. This is a well documented issue on the WF. I can PM you some links if you'd like to see the number of people grappling with this! Great video and have been subscribed since before the Dorman part came out. Thanks for all you do.

Hey Stephanie......the cabin filter and recirc filter are the same. At least I only know of one filter. The filter that is shown in the video filters all the air entering from either outside or thru recirc so you should be fine with what you bought already. Feel free to send me the link I you like and I will try to read thru the info and see what the issues are. I do want to say thanks for having subscribed.
Great Vid MCM! explanation perfectly executed! Good cam positions also.... What about installing DDin Head units? What's needed specifically to preserve the Steering Wheel buttons and Uconnect?

Great video. I assume that this video also applies for the Sahara model.
My question is about the old filter... did this Jeep didn’t have a cabin filter? I didn’t see any filter you took out from... just wondering.....
this also works for the 2018jku if u have one.
My aftermarket filter has an arrow for air flow. What direction does the air flow? Up or down? Thanks.

Hello how are you bro. Thanks for your videos. I’m from San Diego I have a question, We just rebuilt the whole entire engine on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. We turn it on and work just fine but There’s a problem a ground cable that goes from the body to the Engine gets hot that it melts a little bit. We thought it was the alternator we replace it, still the same Then someone told us that it was the computer so we replace it, And nothing, but what is weird When I disconnect the regulator cable that comes from the computer to the alternator it stops getting hot. What do you think it’s the problem please help. Thank you very much.
Well explained. Thank you
Maybe a dumb question, but was there a design change after 2010 in the JK? Was there no cabin filter pre-2011? (I assume there is one) is the process just completely different?
thanks very usefull
