blockisle9 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Does anyone know if the attatched collection of videos is acurate on how to change the filter? If it is, is the 2.0 the same? http://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2013_Ford_Escape_SE_1.6L_4_Cyl._Turbo/air_filter_cabin/check 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTaylor Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have not done this job, others on the forum have and I hope they respond, Based on the directions in the Ford Service Information CD, this procedure looks correct. The main point that I saw was that it does not appear to be necessary to disconnect the electrics which was of some concern to me. The video make it look a little less difficult than I thought based on some comments made in the earlier thread. I book marked the site, thanks for posting it.

Escapism Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, sure. It's pretty much correct. I have done this 3 times. If you don't remove the 8 connectors in the BCM you really have to yoga the old filter out and the new one in. I always removed the BCM connectors. The one thing they left out is the big door gasket molding. It just pulls right off and it makes taking off that triangular panel to the right of the glove box a lot easier. Don't know why they omitted this tip. The workshop DVD explains this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt in blue Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Three times already? How many miles do you have on yours? We live maybe 10 miles apart so we have similar road/pollution/pollen conditions and I know I've had my Escape longer and I'm still on the original filter. Granted, I turned mine over 15k this weekend. I was thinking I'd do the filter at about 20k but you're making me rethink it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad I found this video. I was no where near the right place under my dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-S Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 And I thought replacing the cabin filter on the Fusion was bad. The Escape has it beat hands down!! I now know Rube Goldberg officially works for Ford and is in charge of engineering the location of the cabin air filters on all their cars. I imagine a Ford service department hands you a pretty large bill when they do this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 No such thing as a Ford service department. There are only Service Departments at dealers who sell Fords. Ford has no involvement in maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMatt Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I've done this once and it worked like a charm. 10 minutes total to remove and replace old cabin air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt in blue Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mine's now at 23k miles and I haven't done the filter yet. Since I mainly use recirc because of the long pollen season here, I had decided to do mine at 30k. I did the cabin filter on my Mazda3 on Saturday and the Escape can't be worse that it (you have to remove the fuse box and a frame bracket). Took about an hour to do. I may go ahead and do the Escape sooner since it's been three years even if the miles are still low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
