Thanks for not lying about how hard those bolts are to get out. 😄

You made laugh so much when you said I had my mouth open!!! Just replaced the filters on my Suburban today.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who'd turn on something and get crap blown into my face.

You just saved me what I'm sure would have been a vrry expensive trip to the garage! Thank you!! 🙏

Great video and I love your editing style! Thank you Sir.

Thanks for the video! It was great, just by pointing the most likely culprit of the weak air flow. Start here, THEN continue with diagnosis. Great logic. Sometimes the most obvious is often overlooked ( as in my case) . 👍👍👍 Subbed

Good video, small correction, 5.5 mm socket on filter cover as opposed to 6mm. Gm uses 7mm and 5.5 mm extensively through those years, great info to many thank you

I want to say thanks for the video and information, I changed my cabin filters, and now my air is blowing out super strong, thanks again

Thank you so darn much for this! I'm going to try this on my 1998 Plymouth Breeze. It blows cold especially after I recharge the AC but the air is only coming from the top dashboard then under the windshield and the small Corner vents but none of the front facing center dashboard vents:-( I hope that I can tear this down and do the same fix :-) thank you so much for the help because I already replaced the AC relays and nothing happened $60 down the drain or at least now I have new relays anyway

If your still dealing with smells, rent or purchase a ozone machine and run it in the cabin for awhile. That should easily rid any stank. I rented one at the local rent-all.

Good tip.

The resistor is a good place to start. Looks like a small switch easy to replace

I'm having to find a way to clear a prior rodent infestation and the more I look at these systems, the more I wonder what they were thinking when they made them. They could've made them so much easier to clean out and get inside of. I remember working on our up armoreds in the military and they were so simple. lots of straight lines, big holes to reach into or suck out. Imagine if they designed these vehicles for simplicity. They'd last forever. Which is of course why they don't.

so what if i got this problem but my truck doesnt have a cabin air filter ( ford ranger xlt 01')

There are 2 of them? I need to check and see if mine has a 2nd one if so then I need to change it haha. I only pulled one out when I did mine about a year ago

I figured this is what would be wrong with mine but it didn’t help. But also when I went to replace them I seen there wasn’t even any in mine. Could that of messed something up?

Is the GMT400 from 1991 to 1999 has cabin air filter ?

What if ac comes on and has good air flow but then air stops and sounds like it is coming out on passenger side on bottom but no air is coming out. Sometimes i can turn ac on and it want come out for days but when i take my gmc 2012 Sierra truck in to shop the ac works but when i leave it will shortly go off and not work but it sounds like it is blowing out the bottom but it is not coming out of any vents even when you turn the knob that makes air come out of other vents.This all starting happening one day going down the highway and heard a loud noise on bottom passenger side and air turned hot and door started flapping.

I replaced the fuse I replaced the blower motor resistor and the blower motor and the airflow was smooth it was high but now active replacing all that the air flow is low especially when I put my foot on the gas or when it's idling. I have to keep playing with the AC switches and fan switches constantly. Even though the air flow is low it's still blowing out cold air but I just don't understand why is it doing that.

I have a 97 silverado, cleaned the Evap, blows good on defrost and floor but the vents in dash are weak, it doesnt have cabin filters, what do i do?

What if your truck doesn’t have a cabin filter like my 2006 Colorado?

What if my truck doesn’t have a cabin air filter?

As the car Eco sport is started , the ac comes out of the vents. later as the car engine runs for sometime, the air runs inside only, it doesn't come out off the vents. What should i do?

Ive replaced filter but still air not flowing like it should. Any other clues. Thanks for videos

@TheDaninator

Жыл бұрын

The fan itself may be wearing out, or perhaps the actuator motors inside the dash are wearing out (common issue) and are not opening the damper doors or closing them all the way to direct all of the air to the appropriate vents.

There is no access door to the cabin air filter on a 2011 chevy silverado 2500hd wt but there is low air flow in the vents

I would change it ever year, man. That's some nasty shit right there. I don't think my Tahoe has one, such a shame.

Indeed. A routine swap of these filters would be ideal.

There are flaps/doors that are opened and shut with actuators to direct air flow in the ducts. Possibly the actuators are bad and are restricting air flow.

Check to make sure the blower motor is good then check blend door actuators. GM is notorious for those going bad.

I think I need to do this, but it actually blew hard once then went slow again

Re-circulate the air and it should it give a bit more go as well.

I once found the wire plugged in backwards on the fan. It made the fan run backwards.

My car is a 2004 mustang and apparently no air cabin filter on this model

I've heard that the Cabin Filter came in 1997, my Car is a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2 Doors Coupe 2.4L and it doesn't use any Cabin Filter, here is the problem, when I turn the AC on the middle Vents of the Car blows cold air ok it works just fine but the single ones on the sides like the Driver side and the Passenger side it blows almost nothing even though it's on the Max position, any ideas what could cause that because I have no knowledge about this problem if the car doesn't use Cabin Filter?😮😢

I bet this was the issue with my Highlander!!
