Q: How do you replace the cabin filter on a 2002 Lincoln Navigator?

I believe this vehicle does not have a cabin air filter. There is only a mesh that prevents contaminants from entering the blower motor but it is part of the vehicle and isn't replaceable.

This link is for 2002 Lincoln it is under the hood.
All of the cars I have change was behind the glove box but they were all GM. The link for 2000 navigator says there is no cabin air filter.

I dont think your car has a air filter for the cabin

You will have to remove glovebox and possibly dash panel to access the cabin filter compartment. Once you get the screws out and open the door, you then can pull out and exchange the filter

The most common 2 places for a cabin air filter on ford trucks is under the black plastic under the passenger side windshild wiper or behind the glove box
