When your Jeep has no cabin air filter what else could be blocking the airflow? If a factory Jeep is not installed with a cabin filter is it a lapse and will the dealer install one? Cabin filters were not installed in earlier models of Jeep vehicles, an issue which causes users much concern. Most often when airflow is blocked it is attributed to a faulty cabin filter and users are invariably surprised to know that their vehicle lacks one.

Read below some common questions users ask about cabin filters and how Experts have answered them.

Does the cabin air filter need to be replaced on a Jeep which delivers no air through the passenger side vents?

Case Details: Air delivery through all other vents is strong.

There is no cabin air filter on this vehicle so that cannot be an issue. Provided the blend doors are working satisfactorily the problem is likely to be a blockage interfering with airflow. A familiar problem is debris accumulation on the evaporator which causes a blockage. This is because all the air that flows through the heater box has to pass through the evaporator, and when the A/C operates the evaporator becomes wet, which makes it a natural trap for dust and dirt. Over a period of time, this debris begins to collect and begins to resist airflow. It could be that only one side of the evaporator is blocked which will need to be cleaned. No airflow through the vents can only be due to a blockage which needs to be identified and cleared.

Case Details: When the A/C is set to circulation mode airflow is significantly compromised.

Since a Jeep Liberty’s HVAC system lacks such filters the problem is elsewhere. Chances are the problem is with the recirculation door which is known to break. If this happens it blocks the air intake to the blower motor seriously impacting airflow. The door will need to be inspected for which the blower motor will have to be removed so the housing can be examined.

Could a bad cabin filter reduce the airflow from a Jeep Grand Cherokee A/C?

Since the Cherokee has no cabin filter, reduced airflow would most likely be due to a broken door from inside the heater A/C box. This used to be a common problem with earlier model Jeeps which has since been overcome. Overcoming the problem entailed a design change so parts would not fail as frequently as happened in older models. The two most likely areas to look at are the blend door and recirculation door.
