The cabin air filter for the 2015 Ford F-150 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side.
In this model year, the filter sits inside a small housing on the passenger side that is accessible by lowering the glove box and removing a panel or screws to reach the filter cartridge. Replacing the filter helps maintain clean cabin air and HVAC performance.
Location and access
To access the filter, start with the passenger-side glove box area. The filter is tucked behind a plastic panel on the side of the dash and is held in place by clips or screws, depending on trim level.
- Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. Open the passenger-side glove box and remove any contents.
- Gently depress the sides of the glove box to release the stops and lower the box down.
- Find and remove the interior access panel behind the glove box. It may be held by clips or a couple of screws.
- Take out the old cabin air filter and note the correct orientation of the plastic frame, which usually has arrows showing the direction of airflow.
- Insert the new filter into the housing, ensuring the arrows point toward the interior of the cabin (airflow direction). Then reattach the access panel.
- Lift the glove box back into its normal position and close it. Start the vehicle and run the HVAC to confirm proper airflow.
Replacing the filter is typically a quick job that can be completed in about 10 minutes and helps maintain fresh air in the cabin and efficient HVAC operation.
