- 2013 Ford Fusion Cabin Air Filter Replacement How-To Video. Car had 12,000 miles on it when I decided to change the filter and I was glad I did after I saw how dirty it was. Please refer to your Owners Manual for questions. I will do my best to answer anything else. SAVE MONEY AND DO THIS YOURSELF! Thank you for all the positive comments. Glad I could help make the process easier for you all with a simple tutorial video.

Your video is noticeably more well thought out and detailed than 90% of what I see on TH-cam. Yay! Someone actually thought of having a light on ahead of time under the dash in the hard to see places. You explain this methodically and without stutter or mumble. Your content is concise, accurate, and extremely helpful. Thanks for the good information.
Excellent video. Too bad Ford engineers failed at making this easy. It can be done easy. Our 2007 Prius this is done without tools and in a matter of seconds. Im dreading this job now, but perhaps dreading it a lot less now that I saw your very informative and well made video.
Thanks a lot for this video. Takes about 15 minutes to do it. As some commenter warned, slide a cardboard under the old filter before removing it. This will prevent that some debris will fall into the fan. Keep cardboard in while removing old filter and then suck all debris on top of cardboard out with a vacuum. I had to realize that some former owner of my 2013 Fusion did this job before. But he was too lazy putting all the screws back in. The screws on the filter cavity lid were missing as well as the lower left side screw of the glove box. I hate it when people are that lazy.
Excellent video. Many people may know how change the filter but not many people can explain the process in such a clear concise way.
Best how to video on you tube. Thanks very much! Guys at the dealership were worthless. This video works perfectly for the 2014 as well.
Omg thank you so much. Once I heard I had to take apart my glove box to get to the air filter, instant anxiety. Then I came across your video, that was so well explained, I felt relief. Got it done without any hiccups! So thank you, fords can be so difficult with any little repair or replacement and you made it so easy 👍🏻
WONDERFUL tutorial!!!! Just finished my air filter change alongside this video in 20 minutes. You recommend the EXACT tools for the job. Perfect video - Thank you!!!!
Excellent tutorial, nice camera angles, nice explanations, perfect speed for pause and rewind. I just did my 2015 hybrid using this video. 👍
Used your video to change the filter on my 14 fusion for the first time. Thank you so much for saving me money.
Excellent it worked exactly as you said for my 2015 Fusion Hybrid, saved me lots of labour costs from the dealership, thank you so much. I see the clips for the filter door don’t clip back up again and aren’t needed either the Phillips screw are all that are needed, thanks again that was easy to follow. From Alberta Canada.
FANTASTIC! Thank you!!!! Mine is 6 years old now and the dealer wanted $110 to do this... Got the filter from Amazon for under $8... I appreciate the details in this video! I knew I'd have to remove the glove-box but didn't feel like that haasile.
DIY today is a must!
Thanks again!
Thank you for this. I watched twice, and changed the filter in my '14 w/no problems. You saved me $$!
Excellent instructional. I've used your information...….twice. The dealer wanted 59.95 to change this same filter.Thanks so much !!
Wow thanks man saved me 65-70$ in parts & labor!! Well detailed!!
Thank you for your help and detailed explanation for this filter.
We had a model of this car in our store and your video was very helpful.
A hug from Brazil to you.
Thanks Nick...have forgotten how to change cabin filter in my 2013 Fusion Hybrid...your video is very well done and easy to understand...you might consider making other videos as you are very adept and the video quality is excellent.
great video - very helpful when I changed a friend's cabin filter. thanks for posting this!
Thank you so much, Nick! I was able to replace my Ford Fusion 13 cabin filter within 10 mins thanks to your detailed video. I think I just saved $150 👍🏼😂
You’re awesome
this video is helped me Change the cabin air filter on my 2015 Fusion, he explains what to do the whole way through! watched other videos and couldn't get it till i seen this one, Thanks 👍🏻
Amazing video. Took me 15 minutes and saved 70$
Yea its a piece of cake now that I know how to do it! Glad it helped!
Best video to watch to replace my filter thanks man!
KWGuy..excellent video! Very well done! My Fusion has only 7700 miles but I thought I'd give this a try in the next few days. Thanks again for the good professionally done video.
Awesome video. I am going to be doing this on the weekend. Your instructions are great!
This was an excellent video and explanation. You should go into the business! Thank you so much for taking the time to show others.
Thanks for the great instructions and tips. Everything is exactly how it was shown on the video. At 22K mile the filter was pretty nasty on mine....
My wife got a new car. I'm now driving her 2014 Ford Fusion back and forth to work (100 miles one way. Gets better MPG than my 2014 Ram) We traded in my 2018 Kia Soul for her Buick Encore. I was always the one to get her car serviced. Nobody ever mentioned the cabin air filter. I assumed it didn't have one. My Ram doesn't, but I could make some cuts and put one in if I really wanted to. The Kia did, and it was really easy to change. If I have to drop the damn glovebox, I'm cutting an access panel out of the back of it to make changing the next filter a lot easier. Say I won't, it's out of warranty and I'm driving it to work until the wheels fall off.
Great video! Thank you for getting right to it and showing the tools you will need. Also lighting was prefect. Strong work!
Awesome video thank you so much! I don’t even want to guess how much time and frustration this saved me.
Thank you so much for making this video. This is unbelievable that this design was approved by Ford. A consumable item like this should not require tools, period.
Holy crap I changed it for the first time since buying the car brand new in 2013. Needless to say it was NASTY. Thanks for the great vid.
Hey, first off, thanks so much for the detailed video. It made the work on my wife's car go super smoothly.
One word of warning, though: Beware of leaves/debris that are resting on the old filter falling down into the blower motor. The motor rests below the filter, and when you pull the filter out it's way too easy to have some debris fall down in there. I vacuumed out what I could, but now when I start up the air I hear a humming noise that was not there before that increases as I turn the fan speed up.
My next project is to figure out how to remove the blower motor and clean it out. Some quick searches only turned up results for older Fusion models, so if anyone has seen a video or instructions for how to do this for the current generation, I would be eternally grateful.
I also own a '13 Fusion of my own, and I plan to do the air filter swap in it as well. However, my plan with that one is to slide a piece of paper into the chamber under the old filter before pulling it out. Then I can vacuum out any debris and avoid this issue a second time around.
Thanks again!
ever resolve this? just changed mine today and I've got noise when the fan is on high
+Michael Gombos Yes, it took a bit of work, but I was able to remove the blower motor from below the glove box. There were some small leaf pieces in there that were causing the noise.
The hard part was moving the motor around while it was still attached in cramped quarters without scratching myself up on the sharp plastic edges down there.
Google removing the blower motor and you should be all set.
Unfortunately the same thing happened on my Fusion, even with my attempts to block the debris from falling with a piece of paper. Terrible design decision. I'll probably try to stick a vacuum cleaner hose in there next time and see if that helps.
Good luck!
Kevin Church thanks for the info. I can't seem to find any information on removing the blower motor. Everything I'm coming up with is for the previous generation. Is it pretty self explanatory once you get back behind the glove box? I didn't even look at removing it as I hoped I wouldn't have to!
Just replaced mine... Great video, but now I have this blower motor noise problem too. Any updates from someone who's cleaned out the blower motor?
I got lucky on the filter replacement no blower noise! I did brake off one of the cheap plastic clips on the side though!
An Excellent Video and I changed mine. Thanks a lot. It involved a lot, just to change a cabin filter. If not careful, tabs can brake or screws can be lost. Can be simple as a lots of people mentioned below.
Great vid clear and precise will do my car today. thank you.
I'll be saving this video for later... I haven't changed mine since I have had my Fusion and I bought it in '14 and it's a '13 so thanks for this video
Thank you so much for your demonstration 👍🏼
They don't make anything easy to do these days.
2012 fusion was a breeze 5 mins tops
My Kia Optima took 5 seconds. There were two taps in the glove box you pushed and it’d lower the door and you pulled the filter right out and slid the new one In
Just fords
My Toyota Prius took 2 minutes (no tools).
Nice job! Well-lit, well-shot, well-explained.
Thank you for the video ill be changing mine tomorrow
Great tutorial
great video you saved me lots of time and money.
Very helpful thank you I'll be sure to link this in the forums I use
Thanks for the vid! Just replaced mine. On all my other vehicles it's so easy. You just lower the glove box, and it's right there. This wasn't hard by any means, but Ford (and I'm sure other manufacturers) are really trying to make it so that you have to bring in your vehicle for all routine maintenance.
Great Video. Made my air filter change easy
Thanks! Tremendously helpful!
I follow your steps man and works like boss thank you for this information 🧚🏾♂️🧚🏾♂️🧚🏾♂️🧚🏾♂️
Good video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent video. Probably saved me an hour
One of the hardest filters to change in the ford family, besides the Fiesta. I do these all the time for the dealer that I work at. Pain in the butt, and half the time, the customers will take these cars to jiffy lube and other places and these (along with the Fiestas) are the ones that I see changed out the least frequent)
Thank you for your video you made it so easy
Very informative. Thank you!
Great video mate! Thank you.
Great detail, Thanks!
Excellent, thanks man!!👍👍
2021 just learned something new thanks
I really liked your clip.
Thanks for this bro!
Great video man. Very helpfull
thank you very much very helpful video I need to change fusion 2013
Thanks, just completed the job. Anyone can do this if they take their time. The dashboard piece you remove isn't as fragile as I had thought, so don't let that step deter you
Excellent video!!
fantastic video.. thanks
Awesome info. TYVM.
Thank you, excellent video! Just bought a 2015 Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost. I've changed the cabin air filters on my Volvo S40 and Mini Cooper, but this is way more involved. My only fear would be breaking that long trim piece that holds the a/c vent as I'm taking it off, seems like you're applying some good pressure. I'm sure if I let the Ford dealer's service dept do it, I'll wind up paying around $200.00 (my estimate) for the part & labor. (Mini dealer wanted to charge me $151.00 a few years ago for a 5 minute job...bought the filter on my own for $20.00 and installed it in 5 minutes thanks to a TH-cam video). Will check back once it's time to change it. Thank you again for helping people save money!
Congrats on the new purchase you will love it! It rides great, it's packed with technology and the EcoBoost model is surprisingly peppy for a little 4-cylinder. You are right on the vent also, I had to apply a little pressure but luckily it turned out great. I have popped it off a few more times since then and have not broken it yet "Knock on wood". Your welcome and glad the video helped (Or will in the future).
I just changed mine out and is was easy to take the trim piece off the more difficult part was putting the glove box in since you need to press pretty hard to get it back in.
GREAT VIDEO!
Great Video
Excellent video! Advance Auto didn't even have the filter listed in their book so I assumed it didn't have one 😣
dude you are the best
Great video
Thank you Very Much, i have signed in just to thank you :)
great video
You are my hero!
Great video. Very helpful. Much harder than it should be, but perfectly do-able if you can turn a screwdriver.
Thank you Very much !
Thanks for the detailed instructions. You think they could put a hatch in the back of the glovebox.
Good Job On This Video
Thank you!
I love my 2004 lexus. To access the cabin air filter in a 2004 lexus rx330 you just pop off two limiter pins from the glove box door and squeeze 2 tabs and pull to remove cabin air filter tray. Replace the filter on the filter tray and reverse the process.
awesome video. I just ordered mine from rock auto I have 56k miles... after seeing his at 12k I figured it was time for mine!!!! lol.... but hey also forget the lug nuts that come on the fusion they suck... I got after market chrome lug nuts that work great a 19mm actually fits on them. no banging them on with a hammer!!.. (I have the black rims that keep peeling this is the 7th set of black rims they have given me) I know a thing or 2 about taking the rims off now.. I think DP accessories is where I got the lug nuts from and they look a lot better then fords tin plated lug nuts.
Thank you ☺️ 👍
If you think this is too involved, just wait until you have to replace a headlight or high/low beam light bulbs. You'll have to partially remove the front bumper. But overall, the 2nd gen Fusion is a great car. No real complaints after 4 years of ownership.
ramivalencia that’s really true
The 2017 fusions and up you don't have to do that.
Did this to mines today. That shit was really difficult putting back on. Thanks for showing me me how to though
Thank you for the video I would have never guessed that is were the filter was. Ford seems to want you to go to the dealership so you can spend a lot of money for something a owner should be able to do sad they have to design things that way.
Worked on my 2014 FF. Got Fram filters ($45) while picking up groceries at Walmart. Dealership price for cabin, and engine filters plus labor was going to be $80.
Awesome detailed video! 2009 Honda Accord same location 5 seconds to drop in a new one with 0 tools. Smh ford wow
Thanks 😘
thank you :)
Seems like a pain in the ass just to change the cabin air filter, but thanks for the video! Gonna try it this week.
Thanks
Hello.
Thank you for your video, would you so kind, tell me please parameter of the filter, how much centimeters of a/b/h ?
unbelievable. I just had mine done. our Saturn Vue takes about 2 minutes to do and no tools!
dang.. one of the little clips at 04:16 broke off when I tried to push it to the side.. will that matter?
excellent video! thanks for sharing, my doubt is about the air bags in the titanium version, is it the same process????
+ejdtcorven
The '14 Titanium I just did was exactly the same as in the video. The airbags in all the '13-'16 Fusions are all identical, and you don't need to worry about them anyways. Airbag module is attached to the bottom of the top part of the dashboard, just above the glovebox.
this video helped tons! not very hard, but kind of annoying how tedious they made it to change, my ac was blowing weak, i had bought the car with about 180k on it. pulled that filter out and it was fucking filthy, don’t think it had ever been changed in its life. no wonder it was blowing weak!
When are you post to change the filter..?
Great video and an easy fit. Saved me some $$
Good
Thank you. Way more intensive than I'd like. This is as bad as changing a headlight bulb. Yikes. I got a 2016 and went looking for it behind the glove box like stated in the owners manual. Now I know why I couldn't find it. I tend to change them yearly and this isn't promising. My Toyota's take a whopping 5 minutes like the older Fusions. Thanks again for posting.
+zip89105 oh stop it. This is the problem with americans. too hard to do. so buy a Toyota. believe in America. and buy American products. Do the work yourself. That's what makes us great.
+zip89105 It takes 10 minutes, maximum if you have just a little machanical aptitude.
+Michelle detore I also own a Toyota. Remove the glove box; replace the filter; reinstall the glove box. Done
+William Goldbach Thank you. The video helps a lot - I just hope I don't break something, which is my normal luck!
+zip89105 Watch out for the white plastic clips (6 of them) that should stay attached the tabs on the glovebox. When I pulled the glovebox out they went flying all over the place. Once you find them all, place them back on the tabs. No big deal, but it wasn't shown or mentioned in the video. My filter was loaded with bits of foam rubber, some kind of fuzzy grey material, seeds, hairs, dust, pollen. My car has 33K on it and is just over 2 years old. There was a lot of junk in that filter!
Damn. GM's cabin air filter is also behind the glove box, but you don't have to tear half the car apart to get to it. In fact, you don't need any tools at all. How many of those clips do you think will get broken over time?
I just bought a 2013 Fusion with about 70k on the dial.... I’m kinda scared to look at the cabin filter simply because the previous owner didn’t seem like she really knew how to take care of her vehicle. Good to know how to get at it though.
Well yesterday no air was coming from the vents and today it's perfectly normal blowing like new . my professional mechanic friens said it's not the filter . it's the relay or blower motor 15 Fusion SE 2.5
This is why I buy Honda or Toyota. This process is much more difficult than it has to be.
