I'm ready for the 24,000-mile service on my 2008 (2-liter, manual trans). The Maintenance Log says it's time to replace the A/C filter. My mechanic says he can't do it and I have to go to the dealer. That's surprising. Does anyone know the explanation? Have you ever replaced this filter yourself? Do I need to find a new mechanic?

I had seen that, but I believe it was instructions for a Caliber (might have been the earliest model years)... the Jeep Service Manual doesn't have anything but the filter at the fan housing.

Some vehicles have it there, my mom's Ford Escape cabin filter is accessed there.

Oh! you're supposed to empty the glove box BEFORE you release the tabs and dump the contents on the floor, where many items roll under the seats, etc.?? Who knew! At least now I have fewer items to place back in the box....
www.rockauto.com still sells three different part numbers for this at dirt cheap prices.
ATP #CF75 air filter @ $4.72
ATP # TA4 Air/Odor (has carbon filter) @ $5.97
Pronto #PC4313 air filter @ $8.05
And the Wix # 24313 air filter @$26.79 :wow:
Next time I order something from there I have to remember to grab one of the ATP ones to try it out.

So it looks like some of the Patriots didn't come with a cabin filter. I recently looked into it because every time I turn on my A/C or Heat a bunch of dust comes out of the vent!! I put the cabin filter in and still get some dust. Anyone else having the same issue? Any ideas on fixing it?
If the dust is downstream of the filter, the filter won't take care of it completely. You may need to run it a while until it's all blown out.

I just popped the glove box and openned the filter cover, thanks for all the tips it went smooth.
Though the maintenance manual should read, "put" in an a/c filter rather than "change" the a/c filter since there was none in there in the first place
I look forward to breathing filtered air on my next drive!

I also read this the post and decided to do this to my Pat. Filter was $13 at napa auto-parts. Easy to install and glad to have it. I live on a dirt road and it works great.
