Is it bad if you buy a filter that’s a little bit bigger and you just squeeze it in there?? Cuz I think I bought it he wrong filter and it’s a little bit bigger than the one that it had previously
DO YOU NOW WHICH IS THE DOOR ACTUATOR CONTROLS THE HOT AIR AND COLD AIR I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SOMETIM ALL READY REPLACED THE FULL SISTEM ON THE TRUCK 😰😰
I had no idea these trucks had cabin air filters. I am virtually getting no air through my vents. It's been down to - 4ﾟ and I'm freezing my butt off in my truck. I'll definitely be checking that out in the morning. Thank you so much. I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado and I hope that's the problem.
Awesome, in today's climate I've got to watch my wallet and I'm sure Chevrolet would have charged me a semesters tuition. I appreciate anyone that will take the time to share their knowledge. Thanks again, thumbs up.
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
Omg!! Thank you soo much!! You just saved me $1500 quote on a repair!!! This is a very hot summer! I would rather go on a vacation with that money🤗👍👍 subcribed!!!
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
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.
My parents 2002 Chevy Venture has the same issue. I replaced the blower motor and the cabin air filters. No air coming from any of the front vents... defrost, dash or floor. The back A/C is blowing OK... and much colder to to new cabin air filters. Trying to research why no air flow from front system.
Yeah got the same problem . It cooling but very weak air coming in from vents . The air filter may be culprit . I'm goona need tio check it out in veerrryyy HOT San Antonio . What happens if I don't replace it right away ? No problems ? It'll still blow cool air ?
The ones in my Silverado were worse than that years ago when I first got it. I was nearly pinned to my seat when I turned the fan on high after I replaced the filters. lol
Guys what does it mean when my air functions don’t work? For example, I put the heat so that it blows to my feet but it blows to my head. What’s that called so I can fix it? Thanks!
In the words of Will Farrell in Land of The Lost: " Gross!" Iwill be doing exactly this on both of my cars shortly. Thanks for the inspiration. Now where's that cabin filter on my Camaro? 😁
First thing I did on my daughters equinox when we got it was to change the cabin air filter! Not as bad ,but still pretty nasty. Same thing though, a p.o. had a dog and ohh boy that smell! 😣
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.
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 can’t speak from experience because I’ve never owned a Grand Am, but maybe there’s an obstruction or maybe a blend door is stuck or an actuator is bad.
@@TheDaninator Thanks for the Tip, I'll look to that, another thing I've noticed is that every time I turn the AC on at first some particles of dust comes out of the only vents working which are the ones on the middle as I told you and as soon as it's happening I try not to breathe that
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.
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 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 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.
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?
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?
Mine does the same thing but I replaced the cabin air filters still doesn’t blow hardly anything boy blows out defrost and bottom floor doesn’t blow through the vents barely out all,would there be a blend or actuator in the dash that controls that?
Just for the record. You might check to see if someone plugged the wires on the fan backwards. It will blow air but the fan turns backwards. Been there done that🤔. 🤬
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.
My Chevy is doing the same thing but I have a 2001 Cavalier and that makes a lot of sense but I couldn't find the cabin air filter for my car I looked in the glove box and it's not there There's not even a place for it.
Well even if I changed them both, I get great air flow when the filters are out but when I put the new ones it's very minimal air flow. I'm not sure why to be honest
Could be the fan speed regulator, or perhaps the actuators for the ducting are not working properly or maybe there’s a blockage from a critter... hard to say
LOLOLOLOLOL ... something I would have done. My 2021 Ram 1500 had no air flow and I checked the filter and it was soaking wet. ALWAYs check the filter if your air is not right. Now I need to find out why my filter was wet ... car wash 2 days ago and rain rain today.
Change your vehicle's cabin air filter every 200,000 miles whether it needs it or not.
Every 200 thousand? Lmao I think you mean every 20 to 30 thousand
Is it bad if you buy a filter that’s a little bit bigger and you just squeeze it in there?? Cuz I think I bought it he wrong filter and it’s a little bit bigger than the one that it had previously

200,000 miles...Damn Bro...
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.

Im glad I found this video before I bought a new blower motor
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
Awesome 👍
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
Thank you!! As you said, that screw on the left was a pain. Good news, I found my good Snap On tool while looking for adapters to get to that screw.
Omg!! Thank you soo much!! You just saved me $1500 quote on a repair!!! This is a very hot summer! I would rather go on a vacation with that money🤗👍👍 subcribed!!!
You just saved me what I'm sure would have been a vrry expensive trip to the garage! Thank you!! 🙏

Thank you Sir.
Always forget about that filter lol - thanks!
There’s been moved I totally understand how to do it now thank you
I did this to my chevy truck last week and man.. they were DIRTY! air flow has increased BIG time
Thank you sir for you fixed my problem Happy New Year
Thank you for great video. Mine I’m sure need changed but my vents in my dash are only blowing thru the defrost vents.
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.

Thank you !
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who'd turn on something and get crap blown into my face.
Good truck man
Mouse poop can have viruses in it even if it’s dry . I sprayed Lysol up inside there after I Change the filter thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing the job well done, keep it up.
"Wasn't too smart dan" 🤣🤣🤣
What if you changed your cabin filter and it's still weak? Mine comes out strong on the floor but barely flows through the dash vents
Mine too
Same here replaced blower motor , resistor, air filter still blowing low
@@Jmaal89 the actuator that controls the flap door isn't working properly.

@@umbluegray1 you find a fix?
Great instruction, Thanks!
Good Info.---- THANKS
My car didn’t have a cabin air filter I made one for it and really the air flow been better with it
Thank goodness i have GMC Sierra 2500, it’s probably the same thing, gonna order some new filters right now😂
Might wanna check them first, mine were extremely dirty so I bought some new ones and still weak airflow so idk what the problem is
There is none on my 2004 Sierra 2500HD!
Wow, thanks brother
The resistor is a good place to start. Looks like a small switch easy to replace
Yeah got the same problem . It cooling but very weak air coming in from vents . The air filter may be culprit . I'm goona need tio check it out in veerrryyy HOT San Antonio . What happens if I don't replace it right away ? No problems ? It'll still blow cool air ?
Great video bro thanks alot
You bet
Great advice....thank you
that has to be the dirtiest air filters i’ve ever seen. i think i got lung cancer just watching you pull them out.
The ones in my Silverado were worse than that years ago when I first got it. I was nearly pinned to my seat when I turned the fan on high after I replaced the filters. lol
I work at Toyota and I have seen some pretty bad ones worse than that even!

In the words of Will Farrell in Land of The Lost: " Gross!" Iwill be doing exactly this on both of my cars shortly. Thanks for the inspiration. Now where's that cabin filter on my Camaro? 😁
It certainly smells better in my truck after ridding it of those two vile filters!
Aa
Thank you ❤
I recommend next time run some disinfectant through the system
Good tip.
First thing I did on my daughters equinox when we got it was to change the cabin air filter! Not as bad ,but still pretty nasty.
Same thing though, a p.o. had a dog and ohh boy that smell! 😣
What about the "mouse nest" ? Where was he getting in? I found a nest in the same spot on my 2000 Silverado??
This helped with my chevey cobalt

What if my truck doesn’t have a cabin air filter?
I once found the wire plugged in backwards on the fan. It made the fan run backwards.

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 wonder how many dust mites called your ac system "home"
Chemical Spore well, they found a new home in my nose and mouth when I turned the key 😂
@@TheDaninator smoke em out lol
Ive replaced filter but still air not flowing like it should. Any other clues. Thanks for videos
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.

Is the GMT400 from 1991 to 1999 has cabin air filter ?
Ok that's a 2002, I have a 2006 gmc sierra, does not have a cabin air filter. So how to fix the air ventilation ?
Check to make sure the blower motor is good then check blend door actuators. GM is notorious for those going bad.
Do you know how to fix that problem but in the Camaro my Camaro is not blowing air but in the feet it is
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?
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?
What if your truck doesn’t have a cabin filter like my 2006 Colorado?
I think I need to do this, but it actually blew hard once then went slow again
I asked about an older model Freightliner road tractor and I got this
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?
Mine does the same thing but I replaced the cabin air filters still doesn’t blow hardly anything boy blows out defrost and bottom floor doesn’t blow through the vents barely out all,would there be a blend or actuator in the dash that controls that?
Yes. These commonly need to be replaced or sometimes need to be recalibrated if you’re hearing a loud clicking noise.
@@TheDaninator it’s never made a clicking noise
Just for the record. You might check to see if someone plugged the wires on the fan backwards. It will blow air but the fan turns backwards. Been there done that🤔. 🤬
My car is a 2004 mustang and apparently no air cabin filter on this model
Re-circulate the air and it should it give a bit more go as well.
Hey! I changed my air and cabin filters, and i still have weak airflow. Any other ideas? The fan sounds fine, couldn't find any clogs. Any ideas?
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.
@@TheDaninator Is an actuator the same thing as an AC servo motor?
@@aquamayne8168 I think they are one in the same, but I've always known them as actuators
Could be actuators or your blower motor
🙏THANK U
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.
My Chevy is doing the same thing but I have a 2001 Cavalier and that makes a lot of sense but I couldn't find the cabin air filter for my car I looked in the glove box and it's not there There's not even a place for it.
I can't find a carbon filter on my 1997 silverado do I even have one ?
What if I don’t have a air filter? Dakota 2002
‘03s and after don’t have air filters right?
Jdkuhl I believe that is correct. 2003+ GM removed the option.
Ya, my 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic never had the air filter option installed, but was told there is a kit to add one. in the same spot.
I have that problem but my 06 Sierra has no cabin air filter
Would my 1997 Chevy Silverado C1500 have these filters?
no,my 1998 dont, but still have that problem
Well even if I changed them both, I get great air flow when the filters are out but when I put the new ones it's very minimal air flow. I'm not sure why to be honest
What if you put new cabin filter and still no lot air pressure
Could be the fan speed regulator, or perhaps the actuators for the ducting are not working properly or maybe there’s a blockage from a critter... hard to say
@@TheDaninator I had replace both acuator i believe it the blower motor cause it started making humming noise today thanks
I have a 2003 Silverado and it doesn’t have cabin air filters. Very low pressure and 5 works when it feels like working. Any suggestions?
The driver side vents are cold but the passenger it barely blows
There's an obstruction, or possibly a damper door is stuck shut, or maybe the actuator to open the damper door is busted.
But I don't have a cabin air filter
I noticed that everybody that drives General Motors Crap trucks has a least 1 spare, that ought to tell you something
stupid me i backed up and put my hand on my face when you turned the ac with all that dust flying around as if it was going to my face lol
I changed mine and still weak airflow
Mine started blowing weaker after changing air filters. anyone know what it could be?
Mine has low air flow but the filter is gone.
I bet this was the issue with my Highlander!!
Im having a problem in my Tahoe where the drivers side vents blow good but passengers side comes out very weak any idea ?
Should’ve done the 11 fan speed mod...
so what if i got this problem but my truck doesnt have a cabin air filter ( ford ranger xlt 01')
LOLOLOLOLOL ... something I would have done.
My 2021 Ram 1500 had no air flow and I checked the filter and it was soaking wet.
ALWAYs check the filter if your air is not right.
Now I need to find out why my filter was wet ... car wash 2 days ago and rain rain today.
Are you gonna fix Rest
👌
Wow....super clogged
Who let the dog smell out, Who, who
Are you gonna fix the
Fixed easy just take your car apart yeah easy 😂😂
This trap doesn't exist on my 2004 Sierra 2500HD!
GM didn’t put an air filter in the 2500 trucks. There are UA-cam videos showing how to add one.
Go to the Seat job 199 Box
