How to Install a Cabin Filter in a 2003 Dodge Van

Your 2003 Dodge van uses air filtered from the front of the vehicle and disperses it inside the vehicle. However, air in front of the vehicle often has contaminates such as gas fumes from vehicles in front of you. Therefore, the air gets funneled through a filter before entering the cabin. The filter is often overlooked and never changed. If the air coming out of your vents smells stale, it is time to change the filer.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement cabin filter

Instructions

1. Locate the cabin filter housing under the glove box. The lid on the box has a small knob on it, and the box is black.

2. Twist the knob counterclockwise to open the lid on the cabin filter housing.

3. Take note of the filter's orientation inside of the cabin filter housing, and then pull the filter out of the housing with your fingers.

4. Place the new filter into the cabin filter housing with the same orientation as the old filter.

5. Close the cabin filter housing and twist the knob on the door clockwise to lock the door closed.
