Bought an 04 Explorer, one owner low miles. The problem is when I turn on defrost it smells like ciggerett smoke. Is ther a air filter for the cabin that I can change or what else can I do? Any info will be appriciated.

 

I have the same problem with mine.......... ford assures me that there is no filter in the car.......... I bought mine new and it did it from day one... would love to know if there is a fix for this.....

 

Turn the heat or a/c on so it sucks air from out side turn the blower on high than spray febreeze or a air freshner that kills smoke smell into the vent intakes on the outside by the wipers that will help. There is no filters that im aware of.

 

I have a problem with my ford explore 2004 ac.when you put it on max there seems to be not enough air coming through.someone told me that it might be the cabin filter needs to be cleaned.does anybody have any feed back on this.

 

There is no cabin filter on your explorer. What you might try ; remove the blower motor assy check the squirrel cage blower and clean it if necessary.

Then see if you can vacuum any residue from the passage. Many times leaves and junk accumulate in that passage and wind up sticking on the evaporator coils. You can place some rags/wipers under the outlet in the vehicle and carefully clean/wash some of it out the evaporator drain. Go slow, and it should help get the junk out. hanky
