Cadillac Seville 1998 2004 Cabin Air Filter

Ойын-сауық

This is my first video so please forgive the camera work haha. This is the installation and removal of the Cabin Air Filter for the 1998-2004 Cadillac Seville SLS/STS.
Instructions
1. Take your key out of the ignition and turn off ALL accessories.
IMPORTANT 1B. Vacuum the carpet in the driver side footwell area, pay attention to vacuum the area around the gas/brake pedal.
2. Find a small work light to illuminate your work area, which is under the driver side dash.
3. Grab a small pair of wire cutters/snips and a box knife.
4. Look in the back right corner under the driver side dash by the gas pedal and locate a rounded plastic grommet labeled with a white "UP" arrow and pinch the sides of it and pull it out.
5. Take your wire cutters/snips and cut the zip tie on the foam insulation on the shift cable.
6. Take your box knife and make a single long cut 5 inches down the foam insulation on the shift cable. Then pull back the insulation as well as the plastic grommet towards the back of the car.
6B. Pull the shift cable down out of the way at this time.
7. Now look to the right of the shift cable/rubber grommet and locate the plastic door with a single push tab.
8.Release the door and set aside to reveal the white plastic tabs on the Cabin Air Filter.
9.Pull on the bottom white tab and bring the filter out to the shift cable, then carefully bend the filter towards you and the back of the
car to fully remove it. Repeat on the other two filter parts.
IMPORTANT 10. At this time, vacuum the carpet and the underside of the driver side dash. Make sure to remove as much dirt and leaves as possible.
INSTALLATION
1. Observe the old filters to see how they are assembled. The new filter should have arrows that point in one direction. Keep the arrows pointed to the front of the car.
2. Take the first filter and have the flexible end bend in an "r" shape towards you while guiding the end of the filter WITHOUT the plastic tab into the air filter slot.
3. Once the first filter is in, lift the filter UP using the filter's plastic tab.
4. Then bring the next filter in by bending in in a slight "r" shape towards you while carefully guiding the filter through the previously installed filter's tab, which has plastic guides.
5. Keep guiding the 2nd filter through the 1st filter's guide tab until it goes smoothly into the air box.
6. Repeat 4 and 5 for the last filter.
7. Then bend the top and bottom tabs that are sticking out to overlap. Then replace your black plastic filter door.
8. Push the plastic grommet back into the rubber shift cable grommet by twisting it to the left(counter-clockwise), then once its in, twisting back to the 12 o'clock position. The white arrow has to be pointing up.
9.Slip the foam insulation back over the shift cable and lift the cable back up.
10. Thats all!

    Anyone who complains about the 22 minute length has never done this filter change. Great video for a very difficult job

    Yo. If you ever do one of these jobs Again get evap coil cleaner with the mini hose on the can. It's a cleaner that you can spray on the coil without having to rinse it off. You can spray it directly inside that hole all over the coil

    Nice video. How does one gain access to the cabin air filter on a 1998 Cadillac DeVille?

    Helpful but you could've condensed that to about 5 minutes.
