Install cabin filter - 2008 Nissan Armada

This filter is an optional item and may or may not be dealer installed.

The procedures in this article are typical of most Misubishi vehicles.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

1. The filter is located behind the glove compartment. Open the glove compartment, (disconnect damper rod, if equipped) push on the sides while pulling down to release the latches. Allow the glove box to swing down on its hinges.

2. Remove the 2 air filter screws.

Some vehicles may not have an installed cabin air filter, but may have a sealed filter compartment. In such cases, the sealed compartment will need to be punched-out and a new air filter frame acquired before a cabin air filter can be installed.
NOTE:
The filter is optional and may not be installed in all vehicles. If the filter compartment is sealed as shown, use a flat head screwdriver to punch through the perforated plastic cover. Some vehicles may not have the filter frame pre-installed in the compartment. If so, accquire the filter frame before installing filter element.

3. Remove cabin air filter. Remove the old filter frame (if present) by sliding it out towards you. Remove old filter from its frame and install new filter, ensuring that Air Flow arrow is pointing down.

4. Install in reverse order.

Open the glove box and empty the contents. gently push the glove box to the left and slide the stop toward you. Now slide the box to the right to get the left stop unhooked. Letting the glove box hang, look at the long thin plate on the fan shroud and undo the two screws holding it in. Now you can slide the cabin filter tray out of the fan shroud and replace the paper element. If you look at the fan shroud and see the rectangular slot but there are no screws in it , the cabin air filter has not been installed in your model. The rectangle can be cut out with an Exacto knife and the cabin air filter can be installed in the slot. You can purchase the cabin air filter tray, cabin air filter, and mounting screws at the Misubishi dealer. I purchased one out of an Eclipse at a salvage yard for $5 , washed it, and installed a new $10 dollar aftermarket paper element. I no longer have dust on my dash and it only cost $15.

To ease installation, lubricate the new filter guides with silicon spray. Install the first clean air filter into the case. Using a long thin blade screw driver and filter tab, raise the filter until it is parallel with the A/C and heater module. Ensure the leading edge of the filter engages the filter case holding rib. Engage the new second cabin air filter in the tab of the first filter. Slide the second filter into the remaining channels of the first filter.

with the A/C and heater module. Ensure the leading edge of the filter engages the filter case holding rib. Engage the third new cabin air filter in the tab of the second filter. Slide the third filter into the remaining channels of the second filter. Fold the tab of the second filter down. Fold the tab of the third filter up and over the second filter.

Install the A/C and heater module filter cover. Ensure the cover is properly seated. position the shift cable grommet. Position the left sound insulator to the instrument panel, then connect the electrical connectors. Install the left sound insulator fasteners. Torque the fasteners to 18 inch lbs. Be sure to install the fasteners in the proper locations, then install the SIR fuse. From a position off to the side of the air bag module, place the ignition switch in the "On" position. The air bag warning lamp should flash 7 times and then turn Off. Place the ignition switch in the "Off" position.

It can have a cabin air filter, but most vehicles ship without it. Either way, you can access the cabin air filter housing by opening the glove box all the way (squeeze the sides so it clears the stops).

The filters are around $15 at the dealer.

Whether or not there's a cabin filter installed, make sure you're also following Chrysler's recommendations in the owner's manual—running the air on recirculate all the time will encourage mold and bacteria to grow.

Good luck
