I decided to change my Micro Filter today, guess what....got the slot but no

filter in it. the slot is full of leaves and other crap so I had to use vaccume

extension to suck everything out.


Just wanna remind all 2000~2001 Max owner, if your air condition start to

stink, one possibility would be your micro-filter slot is full of crap.

 

same thing happened to me, i went to replace mine, except there was nothing there but tons of crap! it sucked

 

my air is starting to stink actually... where is the incabin micro-filter? is it in the glove box??

 

In-Cabin Microfilter By Greg

where can I find a filter for cheap? I don't want to have to pay 48.95 at the dealer!

 

For '00 and '01 Maximas, the in-cabin microfilter was not a standard item. It was an option or came as part of a optional package. That is most likely why you didn't find one in the slot.

For '02 and '03s, however, it came standard with every Maxima.

Peace.

 

i have been looking for an inexpensive one also

i just checked and i dont have one and it was really clean isnide too... but now, when the car is on I get an airbag light flashing... what the hell, was it because i unplugged those plugs in the glove box? I put them back together and everything.

 

Oops, you shouldn't unplug those air bag plug. The only thing you need to do is to squeeze the 2 clip. In Greg's site, he unplugged the air bag plug, that's wrong. Follow Housecor's instruction!!

 

haha, a lot of good that does me now... So do I just have to reset the ECU then to get rid of it or what?

 

CHANGING THE FILTER REALLY GETS RID OF THE STINK!
Running the A/C on economy to 'dry' the insides DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!

I added a filter to my 2000 SE and after a year or so it stunk, bad. Traded the car in and never knew if there was a solution. My 2002 came with the filter, and after a year or so also began to stink bad. Was really starting to doubt the construction of the 5th gen A/C since it was 2 stinky cars now. On both cars, tried running with the AC off before parking but it made no difference.

But when I changed the 2002's filter (and vacuumed the insides of the box) the stink WENT AWAY COMPLETELY !!!!!

 

so how do you get rid of the airbag light????

 

Unplug the "-" on the battery before you got sleep, plug it back when you go to work, it's gonna reset the ECU.

 

my AE comes with a filter... I heard its washable? yes/no??

 

It is washable. I washed mine in an 02.

 

baught the filter from dealer ... the filter that was in the car is one piece ...the replacement was two . the filter was filthy ...heheh

 

change it at 15-20K

 

I just changed mine this weekend. I went 15 k on the last one and actually it was pretty clean. Whoever at Nissan decided to attach Airbag connector/plug to the glovebox is an idiot. Why????? Why can't they just attached to something behind the glovebox.
