Default Passenger compartment air filter
Has anyone ever changed the air filter for the passenger compartment on a 2001 convertible? It's supposed to be right behind the battery in the engine compartment. Can't find it. Help!!

Must be an urban myth. There's no cabin filter in the Vette. I've had the battery out a few times and run wires through the firewall. If its there its well concealed

My bad, someone sent me a 05 online owners manual. Now I see why I couldn't find it.

I've read my owners manual front to back and I've never seen anything about one! Maybe you should read yours!

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. My 2005 Dodge Magnum manual says there was a cabin filter, so I bought one. Then I find out that there is not one after all - after searching on the vehicle for a good amount of time on how to install it..........

Good way to waste a few hours. Next time I will just replace the relative bearing grease.

So the owners manual(that comes with the vehicle) for your Dodge was wrong?
