I have a 2001 Accord LX 4-cyl and I would like to replace my AC Filter under the glove box myself but I am really worried that my SRS airbags might deploy.

Does taking off the glove box and replacing the AC behind it trigger my SRS airbags to deploy?

 

nope. absolutely not...but do not uplug anything that has a bright yellow cord attached to a bright yellow connector.

 

careful prying off the [plastic pieces,, and make sure you remove all the screws .. before prying things out ,, it is a simple job ..

 

alright so this is a new one to me.... I haven't had A/C in most of my vehicles so I wasn't even aware of an A/C filter being present, let alone needing replaced... any further info on this?

 

I've also never heard of an A/C filter, and i've learned a bit about A/C and i know how it works and what not. I've never heard about an A/C filter, unless of course its an HEPA filter or some other filter that filters the air before it is sent into the cabin. I don't think that there is filter that would filter the refrigerant b/c since its a completely closed system i wouldn't think there would be a need for a filter.
Edit: There is a cabin air filter it should be replaced every 30,000 miles or 2 years and its located behind the glove box.

 

I think they must be seeing the need for an Cabin Air Filter also...

i cannot recall for sure but starting in 98 or 99 Accord have an a/c filter ( cabin filter ) it is located between blower assembly and evaporator ..up tp 2002 i believe ,, you had to remove the glove box tp replace the filter, PITA.. starting with 03 they made it a lot simpler,
I advice to replace that filter at least once a year , they get pretty nasty ..

 

okay that makes more sense.... Thanks for the info, good to know

 

ehy nasty i see that you and light are moving up in the world ( Moderators ) congratulations ..
hope you guys got a good pay increase

 

Just replaced my filters today for the first time. PITA yes, but not ridiculous. Mine were pretty dirty.
