To access it, you'll typically need to:
1. Remove the glove box: This usually involves removing a few screws or clips. Consult your owner's manual for the specific procedure. Sometimes there's a release latch that allows it to swing down or simply pull away after removal of screws.
2. Locate the filter: Once the glove box is out of the way, you should see the cabin air filter. It's usually in a rectangular housing.
3. Remove and replace the filter: The filter itself might slide out or require a slight tug. Make sure to note the orientation of the old filter before removing it so you can install the new one correctly.
Important Considerations:
* Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual is the best resource for precise instructions and diagrams specific to your vehicle. It will be far more accurate than general advice found online.
* Variations: There might be slight variations in the access procedure depending on the trim level and specific features of your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.
* YouTube Videos: Search YouTube for "2004 Dodge Ram 1500 cabin air filter replacement" for visual instructions. This can often be very helpful.
If you are uncomfortable working on your vehicle, it's always best to take it to a qualified mechanic.
