Air Conditioning problem
2004 Honda Odyssey 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I get a moldy smell when I first turn on the AC -- was told it was the cabin filter and that I could change it myself -- how to do I do it on a 2004 Odyssey?

Dust and Pollen Filter Replacement The dust and pollen filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months whichever comes first. Replace the filter more often if the airflow is less than usual. 1.Remove the glove box.

Make sure that there is no air leaking out of the evaporator. 6.Install the glove box frame and glove box in the reverse order of removal. https://www.2carpros.com/kpages/auto_repair_manuals_alldata.htm
