Cabin airfilter..
Does the 2002 Explorer have a cabin air filter? I tried a seach and didn't find much info. My problem is with the fan. I have to turn the blower up to the fourth notch to get the air to flow well, anything less dosen't seem to do much. I am hoping maybe a clogged filter could be to blame.
Thanks,
Jeff

I had the smae problem, sounds like the resistor motor, on full blast there is no resistance to the blower so it works, when you turn it down it cannot reduce the current to the blower and it turns off. I am an amature and I bought the part for 30 bucks I think and replaced it in 2 hours, mine was hard to get to in a 2001 explorer.

I am still wanting to find out if the 02-03 has a cabin filter? It is very easy to get distracted, and not answer the question. Does the truck have a cabin filter?

"02 Explorer cabin air filter
How do I locate the cabin air filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer Edition? I just went through a NM dust storm yesterday and now my climate control is blowing dust inside my car. Since the engine air filter was filthy, I assume the cabin air filter is also filthy however I can't find it. I also do not have an owners manual after transporting my vehicle to NM six months ago.

No cabin filter was offered for the Explorers. I read that Ford didn't even make it available in the Aviators. You'd think for the kind of money they got for Aviators and Limited/EBs they would have put one in...

03 Explorer Fan Speed
My blower fan has never seemed to move much air either. All the speeds work but compared to my other vehicles it seems that I always have to turn the fan all the way to high to move any air. You can hear the fan change speeds but to me it seems more air should be coming out of the registers but it has always been that way so I was not sure. Any ideas or is this the norm?? thanks , Paul

I had the same problem for a long time until I replaced the blower resistor. It's pretty simple to change as long as you take your time.

Can you offer us some enlightenment or linkage? I have a similar problem which I chalked up to having the rear air stealing airflow, but mine does seem to have settings: Low, almost as low as low, slightly higher than low, and high....
