In-cabin filter light?
My in-cabin filter light on the dash came on, at least that's what I think it is. Where is it located and how do u change it out or clean it and how much do they cost?

I believe your talking about the light for the engine air filter. There is a filter minder on your air box with a red reset button. Its either time to change your filter or shake it out and push the reset button.

If that is the filter minder light then I have nothing too worry about because mine is disconnected and just laying in the engine bay. I never hooked it up when I installed my AFE big boost filter. I looked at it when the light came on but nothing is blocking the hole so thats why I thought it was the in-cabin filter. I know some ford vehicles have this filter but I guess our trucks dont.

Did you unplug the filter minder or is it still connected the the electrical harness? I unplugged mine and left it out and have no light. Yea I believe a few of them have the cabin air filters but I can't imagine they would have a light for when that filter is clogged.

I unplugged mine and left it in the air box when I took it out if I remember correctly it is late and all lol I'll check in the morning.

Are you guys talking about the intake air temp sensor located in the stock air box?
The only filter "sensor" I am aware of if the filter minder and mine has no electronic connections, Buy I have a 2000 so maybe ford got fancy later on.
Just trying to learn something new here.
