Here you go...
- It is located on the passenger side, under the dash, just forward of the glove box.
- Remove two screws on the cover, pop it out, slide back two plastic clips and pull the filter straight down and out.
The dealer charged me $46.00 + tax for the filter and wanted another $35.00 to install it, so I did it myself.
It can be a little tricky putting the filter back in and sliding the clips back on the first time you do it. Just play with it, and everything will go back in place. The second time you do it, it will be a snap.
As I said above in my post above, I live in a very dusty area and keep my heat and a/c on recycle. I would wait at least 2-3 years before changing it, longer if it's not dusty where you live. Before I would change it I would venture to say popping it out and vacuuming it or blow it out with air would suffice.
Good luck with yours.
