I am trying to find the location of the cabin filter for a 2005 Ford Ranger xlt. Our truck did not come with a manual and we would like to change the filter but can not locate it. Thanks for your help.

I went to 4 on-line sites, at 3, I just looked for a filter for your application. They showed a bunch, but none for yours.

Maybe you do not have one?

Maybe you can check for one too, I may be throwing mis-information

I was looking for the same thing for my 07 Ranger. All the info I have found is that the Ranger doesn't have an AC filter. There is plastic mesh to prevent debris from getting into the hvac but no filter

Air Distribution
NOTE:The air distribution system of this vehicle cannot be equipped with a cabin air filter.

There are two sources of air available to the air distribution system:
*outside air
*recirculated air
Recirculated air is only used during MAX A/C (if equipped) and OFF modes.
Air distribution within the vehicle is determined by the function selector switch position. Airflow control doors are used to direct airflow within the air plenum chamber. Vacuum control motors (18A318) are used to position these airflow control doors. Refer to CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION for a description and operation of each of the system functions.
The air distribution system is designed to provide airflow from the defrost nozzle when no vacuum is applied to any of the vacuum control motors. This is done to prevent a situation where defrost cannot be obtained due to a system vacuum leak.
Air enters the passenger compartment from the:
*instrument panel A/C register (19893).
*heater outlet floor duct (18C433).
*windshield defroster hose nozzle (18490).
*side window demisters.
Passenger compartment air is exhausted from the vehicle through open windows or cab air vents.

Does a 1994 Ford Ranger STX Ext Cab 4x4 have a cabin air filter? I do already know it has an engine filter but I don't know about the cabin filter.
Thanks
