- This video is intended to guide you through the process of changing the cabin air filters, and/or checking to see if you have cabin air filters. As you will see in this video my 2003 gmc yukon was not made with the filter replacement available witch was a complete surprise because the repair manual said it had them. So let it be known some vehicles may vary from this procedure..

Thank you for not finding a filter. I was going crazy yesterday trying to find my cabin filter. My local parts store was happy to sell me a filter and every UA-cam video I looked at showed me where it was. You saved me a trip to the dealer. Now I can put the cover back.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing the filters are up there but they're just unaccessible it seems
Where he pointed where the filter should be it’s actually in there ,some people cut that bottom rectangular part of the cover out and the filter will drop out and all you do is seal it up back so you have no dust go in
I have this setup and there IS a filter in there. If you remove that electronic thing near the fan, and shine a flashlight in the hole, you will see it. Mines clogged all up and needs to come out. Was hoping this video would show how to make the cuts where it all goes back together nicely.
I need to figure that out too. I have almost no air pressure coming out of the vents and it’s getting hot out!
@@danr5375Did you ever figure it out ?
I had a 2005 years ago...didnt remember it NOT having one....bought a 2006 Yukon xl...went to change and Whallahhhhh. should have figured it out when trying amazon and ebay...Nobody has one for sale....cause its NOT there. then I find your confirming video. Thanks for posting
Yeah it's unfortunate chevy/gmc didn't offer the cabin air filter through these year trucks and suvs. I'm glad my video was of confirmation for you. Best wishes Bobby!
Guys, it can be done. The plastic he describes at 1:45 has to be cut out to remove the filter. If you look at "09 escalade cabin filter replacement" video you will see. Basically the same set up. Only difference on the escalade is the plastic is grooved where you need to cut. Usually the new filter comes with a new plastic flap and screw to cover the hole. I have an 08 Tahoe that I'm going to be doing this on
Too bad I'm flat rate and I don't get paid for all that extra work. Mitchell1 only calls for 12 minutes of labor. 2007 Yukon Denali.
How is it come out? I have an 04 Tahoe and have next to know air coming out of the vents and I have a feeling it’s from this.
If it looks like this i saw a video he modified and cut the hard plastic peace and its empty inside but a bunch of debree like leaves and pine needles came out but im not cutting it open ill leave it alone
As I was watching your video I realized that I'm in the same predicament As you are and I do not have a cabin filter. I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LT that we just purchased and our AC isn't blowing as cold as I would like so I figured I would do the easiest thing and check the AC filter. Anyway good to know that we are in the same predicament, and hope you are staying safe. Thanks again for the video it helped
No problem! Just so you know theres a filter access door you can purchase and filter, simply cut out where the filter goes on the heat exchange housing box and insert the filter and put the new filter cover door on and you're good to go... parts can be ordered on line or at local parts store... I should've made a video covering this a long time ago! best wishes I hope this information helps.... and thanks for your comment!!
Very knowledgeable video thanks man, helped me out for my 2003 Chevy Tahoe .
Thanks. Had to replace the blower motor resistor bank in my 2003 Yukon XL.
Unfortunately GM eliminated the filter provision (cutout) with the 2004 model year. It can however be modified by cutting the stamping you showed. The space still exists underneath that blank to install the filters. You will need to fabricate a bracket to hold them in and cover the opening. Just had a thought, you might be able to find an 03 or earlier bracket that should fit, perhaps at a scrapyard. I also believe the Sierra pickups had the filter installed from the factory so that's another avenue to explore for a cover. Good luck and thanks for the vid!
Well i run with the same luck and if there is another way to replace the filter i will apreciate if you let us know and load a video and thanks for your videos !
Thank you for this post. I had thought my 2001 Yukon did not have a cabin filter, but I found I did when I looked. It was great to see your video. My filters were there for 16 years, quite dirty. Thanks again, your video was Very nicely done.
The "module" is the blower motor resistor for anyone that might need to know....
And what does that do if you don't mind me asking? My dad's Yukon ac is only blowing from the top vents and nothing else. Any advice will help
@@gerardomendoza8416 That's gonna be your blend door actuator... nothing to do with the resistor. The resistor only control the fan speed of the blower motor....
Thank you !!! I can put my cover back on after Changing my resister and stop losing my mind
You made my day with your video. My 2004 Suburban is the same set up as yours and now I don't need to spend money for a filter. Thank you 😊
Heck yeah glad I saved you not only time but the hassle of buying and returning the filter too! Thanks for your comment 👍
Lol. I almost went insane trying to figure out how to open that pocket. Lol.
Lol well at least now you know, and you can get some of your sanity back! Glad my video was able to help. Thinks for the comment Mike.
you can mark the rectangle part where the filter would normally go then cut the plastic with a hot knife then install the retro kit.
Cut the bottom open and get the GM cover. Well known mod for the 2004-2007 GMT800 pickups and fullsize SUV.
fckn thank u lmao, didnt know they stopped making the bolt holes
Yeah it ridiculous man. I feel like the manufacturer should’ve kept a serviceable cabin air filter in all these trucks.
Strangely enough there’s another guy that used a hot knife and cut the plastic molding and took out the old filter and put in the new filter and then had a replacement bottom plate that he could put in that he got on Amazon or online. But what the hell were the engineers thinking when they have a filter there but there’s no access to it easily. Oh, I get it; pay $1500 for the dealership to do it for you. Yeah; OK, I get it.😤
Do you remember the name of the video?
@@eliasmunoz4771 Unfortunately I do not. I think I just found it under cabin filter replacement for whatever the years That were discussed. My suburban is a 2005
So is there actually a cabin air filter and you just don't have access to it or is there no filter at all???
So come to find out theres a few years that the air filter wasn't installed at all... mine is one of them,.. but one can be added,. at the part in the video where I show where the filter goes theres that cutout that hasn't been cutout yet,. You can cut that cover and buy the filter and filter cover from on line or a local parts store can order it if they dont have them in stock. So if yours didn't come with the filter just order the filter and "filter cover" it may be referred to as the "filter access door." Something along those likes and simply use a sharp blade and score the air box where the factory "uncut cover" is at (witch is the part I show in the video saying this is where the filter goes) anyway score it and go over your score lines till you have cut through the plastic and the cover can be removed,.. simply install the filter you bought along with the new filter cover access door witch will come with a molded clip that holds the cover in place and makes for easy removal when filter needs changed... the filter will need changed when a unwanted odor appears OR if the air flow is reduced. I would change filter no less then once a year but if you live on dirt roads and have tons of dust it may need changed way more times a year it really depends of environment etc. The other really nice thing about having a filter it that the heat exchanger will stay much cleaner and makes it easy for the system to cool the vehicle.. best wishes, sorry I haven't made a video on this problem specifically, I've been busy with tons of other things not auto related.
So I don't have the drop down bracket either but I feel like there has to be a filter somewhere. I can't even hear/feel the air blowing until it's up to half speed or higher so I basically just run my blower at high speed at all times.
Brandon Ward Have the make and model of your vehicle along with your Vin number ready when contacting your dealership and they will be able to tell you for sure if you have cabin air filter or not... the truth is they did stop putting cabin air filters in some... hope this helps.
If this piece is solid it is me to not be removed or cut that is the heater core right there haven't found the air filter yet
Watched ever one of these for 04 tahoe mine looks nothing like them . I have rear ac does that make a difference?
No
Thanks for posting. My '05 Suburban doesn't have filters.
Thank You
So do anybody know do I have a cabin filter for a 2003 Yukon XL
How you drop the brakes dowm
Can you please upload a video on how to change a cabin filter on a chevrolet tahoe 96 or a chevrolet Z71
I'm sorry but I'm unable to fulfill your video request at this time, my advice to you is pick up a Haynes or a Chilton’s repair manual for the year make and model of vehicle you have. Those repair manuals are great for the shadetree mechanic as they provide general repair procedures. But if you need a more in depth manual for your vehicle get a factory manual available through your vehicles manufacturer authorized dealer.
Thanks for commenting!
Please give my video a thumbs up for my efforts!:) Thanks again!!
No filter on a 2007 yukon denali.
There is no cabin air filter on a 99 Suburban
there’s no cabin air filter for the following years 2003-2006 and 2007 classic body style
A cabin air filter kit can be purchased and installed through all years ..
Eric Skaggs does it take 1 or 2 ac filters?
One filter,...
What if your 2004 truck is only blowing from the defrost vents and not the regular ones
When you change the setting on your Air system, for instance like from defrost to floor or to head and floor etc. There is a actuator that that closes and and opens vent passageways to change what vent the air comes out of. In your case I believe it's more then likely the "mode door actuator." Has failed.
I did mine on the passenger side and it didn't fix it but then I discovered there's another one on the driver side. I think that's what my issue is because mine is doing the same exact thing, blowing out of the defroster only
So wheres the filters located if we have this set up? I have an 04 tahoe w rear air..
@Jhonpowelljr In the video at 1:45 describing the plastic housing for the filter. These trucks were not made to replace the filter, but if you look at 1:45 in the video, you will see where the filter cover should be. there is a aftermarket filter cover that is available online. You have to cut out the stamped filter cover using a hot knife and replace it with a aftermarket filter cover purchased online. You will then be able to change the filters.
How about an 05 Sierra 1500 filter or no filter?
A cabin air filter kit can be purchased and installed if yours did not come equipped.
So if there's no CAF , The air isn't "cleaned" at all by Anything? 🤔
Nope but there's aftermarket filter cover you can buy and knock out the stamped out part of the heat exchange box, insert new filter and pop in the aftermarket cover.
Totally ridiculous that it’s necessary to improvise, adapt, to overcome this engineered nightmare.
The filter is there but supposedly it’s going to last a lifetime? Yeah, I doubt it. That’s why you can use “a hot knife and hopefully not cut yourself or cut some necessary peace“ to get to a filter that is there but they make some sort of improvised adoption so you can change the filter. Engineers! My heroes!😤🙄
Opps !! My BAD There is NO cabin air filter in a 2004 YukonXL What I saw was the HEATER CORE and not a filter
Robert Martelli dumbass
Thank you. I was about to try to see what it took to get the to the air filter because on my 01 sivrado I was able to just take that bracket out and get to the sir filter but on this 06 gmc yukon I did see the bracket and was like umm... I better research on this before I try to take it out
Yea Sir! Glad I was able to shed some light on this for you!
For all those having issues with air only coming from defroster and you changed the actuator on passenger side and it still didnt work ,well theres also one on the driver side i discovered lol. Might try to change mine today if it doesn't get to hot here in FLA lol
You have an air cabin filter. I have a 2004 suburban and the filter needs replaced because of a disgusting odor. The hard cover has to be cut away, the filter replaced. There are replacement filter covers. I don't know what would make GM do it this way, it must be a money maker or saver for them but it's a big cost and or a lot of trouble to get the old filter out.
Yeah there's some that are made with a non serviceable filter hints way there's no removable cover for the air filter location.. I sold that Yukon so never made a video on how to cut out the opening but I believe a hot knife would make easy work of it and yes there's aftermarket filter covers for the housing online that are direct fitment. Idk why GM changed it for some of these trucks but your right it's a pain in the ass for guys just wanting to change out a cabin air filter real quick. For those who know how to do the mod it's not a big deal but still have to ask yourself why GM just Why? I'm sure there's money being made when the evap coil plugs up or a non serviceable filter 🙄.
best wishes nasano3
Well here I am beating myself silly trying to figure out why that area was sealed, I own a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic and it's the same way, so it's back to the store with the cabin filters for my refund.
Well I'm glad my video helped clarify a few things for ya!
Actually, I have the same setup as you in my 2004 Yukon. If you remove the electronic module on the bottom below the computer you mention in the video, you can see a filter in there! Disappointing you can't change it!
Robert Martelli
You should make a video, I can't find it ..
I was able to put my finger thru the small opening in there and I could feel the filters there and they are filthy. I will have to cup the bottom opened to replace
@@mannierivera7591 i cut open mine in my 07 z71 tahoe and there was no filter. They forgot it at the manufacturer i think. Only saw a metal grate that looks like whats in the front of your radiator. Not sure if its actually supposed to have one or not.
@ryry283 that's your heater core lol
2005 Chevy tahoe z71 no cabin filter
Take off the sensor and the filter inside is built in metal just spray something for the smell inside!!!!!
do u have a video of this
No I don’t sorry you need to check out your truck if you can find a filter or sensor
Depends on the truck year or model GMC and Chevy are similar
Whoa ! That's your heater core dude , you dont want to damage or even touch that thing if it leaks you'll be crying like a tiny baby !
@@RCRWJR Exactly if it leaks if you can buy a new truck if you can afford it if you still in this planet if my friend if you do whatever the hell you want I’m not putting a gun in your head to do it right
Good to know before I do mine in my 2005 Tahoe that no cabin
Glad I could be of some help.
I should’ve looked for this video first now I have to go threw tha hassle of sending back filters I got from Amazon 😂
🤷♂️ well now ya know. Lol glad I was of some help.
Anyone knows if the 2005 yukon xl denali has one
The 2005 Yukon denali XL actually as a pair of air filters located in the same location this video shows.
@@cyoutellme ok thanks I'll check mine maybe thats why the front a/c blows cold when it wants
@@cyoutellme I just took mine down and it looks exactly like yours so mine doesn't have any cab air filters after all!!!
I would've bet money that the Denali had them in that year. My apologies for giving you the wrong information. I'm going to research it.
I know its a old video but.... if you remove the resistor and look inside you can see the filters. Even though they removed easy access to them its still there. Fabrication will be necessary to remove and seal new filters in place
So you’re saying you made the cut and there was actually filters inside? I understand about the fabrication part. There’s a aftermarket part for the cutout that can be purchased. Never did it to mine and I’ve long since sold that Yukon.
Exactly what I'm saying.
I’m still going crazy
That I’m here looking it up again
I’m in such denial..
Similar to the crazy im going still looking for the
in-Line -Side Rail fuel filters
2004 Avala and no cabin filter. Just like OP's
What about a 2004?
Hi and thanks for the question, it's hard to say for sure because some were made with a cabin air filter and some weren't, you can easily follow this video to check if your vehicle was equipped or not:) best wishes!
Bro Are you Serious!?! I have the same setup as You EXACTLY. Took off the blower motor resistor and the filters are in there. DIRTY AS HELL… but I can’t find a video to replace them
You have to “cut out” the spot on the the filter housing and buy an aftermarket AC filter door retrofit kit. Which is just the door and a screw. The hardest part is cutting out the stamped place in the AC filter housing. I make ZERO dollars providing this link www.amazon.com/ACDelco-22759208-Original-Equipment-Retrofit/dp/B01G5VHFW8 I’m providing it so you know what to look for. Buy from wherever you’d like. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.
And i thought i was crazy
Lol you weren't the first and I'm sure you won't be the last.
My 06 Tahoe doesn't have it there either lol
2:03 was that an accident?
I'm not sure what you mean?
@@cyoutellme it sounded like a fart.
@@davidkang6663 that's very possible 🤣
Wow no way wtf why no filter. So im breathing dust wow
u mean 1999-2006 not 2007
A 99 yukon looks nothing like this
My car is the same it dosent have cabin air filters 😁😁😁👌👌💪💪👍👍tahoe2006
Yes unfortunately some were not made with cabin air filters.
@@cyoutellme why unfortunately? I have a 2006 Chevy Avalanche and the A/C smells funky is there anything I can do about? If yes please help me out
@@CocinandoFinanzasunfortunately because that's what the manufacturers did or in this case what they didn't do which is "put a cabin air filter in"
there is a punch out in the bottom of the housing that you can knock out and buy aftermarket kit to install your own air filter. I believe a quick Google search with the year make and model that you have (be sure to add cabin air filter kit) and you should get a result...
I've been meaning to update this information but haven't had time.
which "genius" designed it this way?! what the hell?
Nine thirty tooths. Nice.
I have an 06 Tahoe and it doesn't have a fucking filter
I pulled my blower motor and module amd had to tale this cover off. I used a deep 7mm socket and dropped it and it rolled in the center console. 🤣 cant find it and will have to take console apart. Just my luck.
That sucks !
The dude tiling my bathroom was all coked up tiled the wall with half his tools in the wall he then said oh well looks good
What a nightmare.
