Buy new cabin air filter: amzn.to/3wwzoej
What a pain to replace. My wife has a 2018 Focus. Compared to the air filter in my Hyundai Accent (under the glove box), this is wild.

Same I have Toyotas that take literally less than 30 seconds to do. This is absurd.

Changing out the battery is even worse. You have to take out the entire air box just to get to it.
Thank you! I was able to easily follow this and replace the filter. Not sure why Ford made this such an awkward thing to replace

Thank you! This helped me change my cabin air filter and saved me 50$. At first I had no clue how to replace mine because it was different than other vehicles I’ve used in the past

Little update from me 😀 if you can put it back the fillter then take out the to cables with big plugs and its easyer to finish the job. And thank you for the video !!!
Having to bend the filter to put it in is HORRIBLE for the integrity of the filter. Ford made sure to make this maintenance item a hiccup for people. Shame.

Ford always makes a vehicle that is difficult to maintain. It was quite difficult to reach and replace.

I was wondering why I never tried to replace the cabin air filter of our CMax and this is why. I had my wife working on it now since it was her car. I told her my hand was too big to fit.😁

My ford focus had some weak AC airflow and I thought to change the cabin air filter first (thanks for the help!) although it was very over due for a new filter unfortunately this didn’t solve the weak airflow issue do you have any ideas?

Make sure the blower motor fan speeds are working correctly.

If you are talking about the AC system. You may want to have a qualified AC technician test it for leaks.
What size screw is it? Mines missing

It is a little bit of a pain to change this cabin filter but not impossible. Hope this video helps you out.
to reinstall the plastic cover, once the part was roughly in place, I used a long flat blade screwdriver to shove the top of it into the upper slot to get it seated. getting the cover seated was the hardest part. also make sure you have a magnetized torx bit and holder.

No sure. Does it blow air at all and it just isn't warm.
Can't those two adjacent cables be unplugged from the fuse panel in order to make more room to get the new filter in?

@@HomeOwnerRepair I just changed my filter, and indeed unplugging those connectors made it significantly easier. They just swing out of the way, allowing the filter to line up much better with the slot.

This is the worst thing in all of humanity to replace. If you have to watch this video to do it, don't. Labor cost is less than the pain and suffering associated with this job. Take it to someone like these guys.... Thank you for the video.

The oil place I took my car to said this service would cost $200 bc it was a difficult process compared to other cars. This looks simple enough to do on your own. Only reason we have to watch a video like this is because in most cars, it’s just in the glove compartment, but on focuses they had to be difficult 😭
