How to Replace a Cabin Air Filter

Locate the specific location of the cabin air filter through your manual.

Loose the box and inspect for the debris. clean the dirt

Remove your old filter, clean the filter box and install a new filter. Secure the box.

Run the A/C systems with the doors closed to verify the repairs.

This isn't very useful without telling us where the cabin filter box located in the 4G Eclipse. Is it the same location for all engine/transmission combinations and body styles (coupes or convertibles)?

Are there any hints or special tools needed in order to change the filter?

Any pictures?

Do we even have a cabin air filter in our car?

SMeclipseGT · May 6th, 2011, 11:20 AM

i believe we do because i remember taking out the glovebox once and finding one

Yes it's in the rear on the left side in the trunk.. Just take off the plastic cover in your trunk you'll see it

Hmmm, two different people say it's in a different place. I am drinking my coffee now (cinco de mayo lol) , but when i'm done ill go check to see who is right.

Is it difficult to get the filter out? I know on some model cars these cabin filters are a real pain in the @$$ to get to.

Regarding the filter location, my $ is on the glove box...

Hell alot of cars have more than 1 in different locations but I'm almost positive I saw one in the trunk area

I have a GT but mine is under the glovebox.. There's nothing in the trunk in my vehicle. (other than wires and electrical that is)

There is a vent in the trunk area, but it's not our cabin filter. But the cabin filter is located by/under/behind the glove box.
