How do you change the cabin air filter in a 2005 Honda Odyssey?

Answer 1

The filter is located behind the lower glove box. You must first partially remove the lower glove box.

1. Open the lower glove box and remove the contents. If you look at the left side of the box you will notice a damper arm lug, this slows the box from just falling out. Remove the round cover from the end of the damper on the left side of the box. The cover slides off with some effort toward you.

2. Then you will need to remove 2 screws at the bottom of the glove box. After these have been removed just maneuver the glovebox out of the existing location.

3. You should now be looking at the blower motor housing and ducting. There is a tray right above the blower motor. It is about two inches high and maybe 10-12 inches long. It has two tabs on eighter side that you press in and the tray pulls out. This is the filter that needs to be changed every 30,000 miles. Becareful it will be dirty if it has never been changed.

4. Be sure before you take the filter out look at the front and the back of the filter in the tray. There is a raised flang at the front and the back of the tray that the filter ends have to be over to hold it in place when you push the tray back in.

5. Reassemble in the reverse order and your done.
