Often, you'll end up damaging the Johnson rod when you try to get out the cabin air filter. Don't panic if this happens. You can get a replacement here:

Johnson Rod - $149.95 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!

thanks for the link...i've been looking for a new rod.

I had read the thread, but it involved an 05 mine is an 03. And I had it from a reliable source, the Fram filter book at Walmart!

I clicked on the link for the Johnson rod, but that one looks much smaller than mine.

How often do I need to change the blinker fluid? I do tow a lot.

Depends on how much you use your blinkers. I hardly use mine. Gets too expensive. Especially with a trailer.

This stuff is pretty basic. You must be a

That does make sense, I will quit signaling. And to minimize wear and tear on the brakes I will quit stopping for lights.

This may fall into that category of "things you probably shouldn't tell another guy."

Ya' got me! I should have said, "Excursions supposedly have cabin filters". I have never personally seen one, and don't know where it would go in their virtually-identical airflow system.

I was into it to the heater core when I decided, I better go ask here where the filter is. But Ford should have put them in. I changed the one on my mom's Toyota, easy no tools maybe 2 minutes.

To repeat: Cabin filters were a dealer installed option. VERY few were.
Some were, so for those owners, the Fram catalog makes perfect sense.

Unfortunately, kits are no longer available. I sure wish they were....
