Does the 2003 Ford Explorer have a cabin air filter?

The 2003 Ford Explorer's cabin air filter is housed behind the gloveboxAnd should be changed every 12,000 miles or less. Signs Yours may need replacing include moldy or stale odors in the vehicle, reduced flow from the AC and heating vents, whistling noises and decreased performance of the HVAC's defrost or defogger features. Cabin filters work to reduce dust, debris, allergens and pollen from entering the vehicle while engine filters ensure the air/fuel mixture is cleaner, optimizing engine performance and fuel economy. Clogged engine air filters result in dirt spark plugs and a sluggish ignition on starting. They should be changed every 12,000-15,000 miles. Cost to replace the cabin's filter range between $70-$100 in parts and labor.
