Does anybody out there know how to go about replacing the 2014 Cherokee cabin filter?? It is not in the usual Jeep location up behind glove box. I've seen pictures & articles on how to do it but they are useless 'cause they are too small for older eyes. Any help would be much appreciated!!

 

i dont know about those newfangled cherokees, but this is what i found.


2014 - KL - JEEP CHEROKEE - 3.2L V6 24V V.V.T.
REMOVAL
WARNING:
Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel
component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then
wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or
service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
1.
Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2.
Remove the passenger side silencer panel (Refer to 23 - Body/Instrument Panel/PANEL, Silencer - Removal).
3.
Remove the passenger side console closeout.
4.
Carefully disengage both retaining clips (2)
simultaneously from the HVAC housing (1) and then
remove the filter cover.
NOTE:
If the filter door retaining clips are
damaged during removal, please refer
to the installation procedure for proper
installation of the filter door without
the use of the original retaining clips.
5.
Remove the cabin air filter (2) from the right side of
the HVAC housing (1) by pulling the filter element
straight out of the housing. Take note of the air filter
position indicators.




Maybe this will clarify:
Remove "Hush panel" under the glovebox-2 pushpins hold it in.
Remove the forward section of the console-3 clips
Remove 1/2"wide cover on the hvac hsng (clip on bottom) says air
flow -with an arrow on it!
Remove and replace filter
