This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the first generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and possibly also the updated 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford Edge CUV in cleaning or replacing the A/C cabin air filter.

Owners of other Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles such as the Taurus, Fiesta, Fusion, Focus, Mustang, Flex, Ranger, F-150, Escape, Explorer, Expedition, MKZ, MKX, MKS, MKT, Navigator, Milan, Mariner, Mountaineer, Grand Marquis & Town Car may also find this guide to be helpful.

No tools are needed to remove the air conditioner filter in a Ford Edge.

This Edge had a filter that was a washable and reusable screen similar to those found in some home A/C air handler units.

If your vehicle was equipped with a paper filter, here are a few compatible replacement filters with their part numbers: ACDelco CF2227, TYC 800111P, Fram CF10547, Wix 24065, K&N VF2019, Pentius PHB5876, Ecogard XC25876, Mann Filter MC 1062, Premium Guard PC5876 & Purolator C25876.

Push Clip Down & Off
To access the A/C system's cabin air filter, you'll first need to open the glove box.

Then push inwards on both side walls of the glove box to release the stopper tab on each side.

Before the glove box can fully be lowered out of the way, you'll need to pop out the retaining clip attached to a string on the right hand side.

To release the clip, push down on the clip until the plastic button on the inside of the glove box can be pushed out of the larger lower hole.

Once you lower the entire glove box towards the passenger floorboard, you'll see the HVAC system blower motor housing and cabin air filter access cover.

To remove the cabin air filter access cover, push inwards on the clip on the left side and swing the cover to the right until it can be easily taken off.

Pull Out Cabin Air Filter
The cabin air filter in this 2010 Ford Edge is just a thin screen encased in black plastic. Your vehicle may have a slightly thicker ribbed paper filter element instead. To remove the filter, grab the exposed edge and gently pull it straight out.

I recommend buying the TYC 800111P cabin air filter since it has excellent reviews on Amazon.

If you'd prefer to have a re-usable filter, go with the K&N VF2019 which will need to be cleaned every year or so.

If your vehicle has a paper filter, just slide in a new one or at the very least shake off any large debris and dust from the old filter.

I cleaned off all the dust and debris on the cabin air filter in the sink and then blew it dry with a Rigid wet/dry shop vacuum.

When re-installing the cleaned cabin air filter, take note of the "This Side Up" marking on the black plastic edge and then slide it all the way into the cabin air filter slot above the HVAC blower motor housing.

To replace the cabin air filter access cover, first insert the right side of the cover into the slot and swing the left side of the cover forward to rest against the blower motor housing.

Secure it in place by pushing on the left side of the access cover until the retaining tab makes a "click". Double check to make sure that the cover is securely in place.

Retaining String Reattached
If the glove box fell off the lower hinges, place it back onto the them before raising it up to meet the dashboard.

Reach up and grab the stretchy string attached to the small plastic wedge and pop it back into place in the lower hole on the right wall of the glove box.

Secure the retaining clip and string by pulling it up until it snaps into the smaller of the two holes.

Then push inwards on both sides of the glove box and re-insert the protruded black plastic stoppers into the tracks.

Finally, raise the glove box and check that it operates properly.
