Ford Ranger/Dash Vents Low Air/Dirty Screen Behind Glove Box 

Butcher, sure don't want you working on my vehicle......

Oh my goodness you are a Godsend my man!!! I’ve had my 11 Ranger for about 13 years now, and maybe about 3-4 years ago in the middle of Covid, my AC airflow was starting to go down and these 3-4 past summers I’ve just been suffering and didn’t really have the money to take it in to the shop and I’d just ride with the windows down. I’ve looked up so many videos on YT in the past years and all they said was “cabin filter” and I’m like no Ranger before 2011 had one, or videos talking about the blower motor or resistor. But idk how I came across your video yesterday, I wish it popped up years ago! And dude it worked, followed everything step by step and magic!! I knew in my heart it wasn’t a serious AC problem because it’s been blowing out cold but just weak, all the speeds work, and I knew there was just a clog somewhere that’s preventing the airflow from coming through. Thank you so much man!! Saved me a trip/money from going to the AC shop and them probably ripping me off to change the whole AC system or lines whatever when all I really needed was to clear the screen! And mine was way worse than this video, it was almost completely black haha. Thank you thank you a million times 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This video saved me a lot of money, time, and headache. Somehow a rag had gotten stuck in there (Lord knows how) and all I had to do was pull it out with pliers. Now to figure out why the first 3 levels of AC aren't very strong where as the last level works perfectly fine lol.

Great job brother. Wow im sure you helped a bunch of us Ranger owners.

i was searching online for the cabin airfilter for a 2009 ranger for months till this video thanks 100% airflow now

You saved my life my ac work great now i was gonna start replacing stuff sure enough screen was clogged thank you so mcuh bud😊

My 2007 Ranger has a silver Sirius receiver box in front of the screen so I couldn't even see the screen. I used a10MM socket on the bottom 2 screws holding the receiver in and had to rip the upper metal bracket since I couldn't reach the nut holding the receiver in place. Once I removed the Sirius receiver the screen was in plain sight. I just vacuumed it clean(packed with dust and leaves) and now the ac airflow is like new. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Buddy, you are amazing, what a great way to lay out in detail, exactly what needs to be done.

My ‘07 Ranger was also not blowing ac well here in Florida. Thanks to your video I realized there is NO cabin filter to change. I just tore the screen out altogether!!! Also noticed the motor on that blower got pretty HOT fast and spent $35 to replace ot! Thanks for the video!!!

GBU!!!!!! YOU ARE A GENIOUS WHO SAVED ME A LOT OF TROUBLE

Thank you for the video! It was a great help. I was able to clean mine out from the glove box with a vacuum and a small stick, which definitely made a big difference. It only took about an hour to get it nice and clean. I had to keep turning the system on to get more debris out.

Good timing finding your vid. Getting toasty in PHX..

Screen was pretty clean, but found fan motor electric plug wired backwards(reversed polarity. Rewired and it works great!

it's amazing what a little soap and water will do 😁

Thank you Brother this exactly the video that fixed my ride. The vacuum line missing off ball brilliant. Thanks now she's throwing snow balls at me ahhh!

Thank you for taking the time to upload and share this information.

I'm forever grateful, my friend. Thanks! 👊🏻

I have a 2009 Ford Ranger and never liked the idea that there isn't a cabin air filter. At least there's a screen but, it is horrifically bad engineering. Ford made absolutely no provision to service the screen. Inexcusable but, at least now I know what to look for and how to get to it.

Squirrel cage? I'd say that's more of a hamster wheel 😉😉

Thanks for this video. I too have a 07 ranger with low air speed. Gonna try this.

Hola que buen video no hay otro en youtuve como este muy bien explicado pero me gustaria que subiera un video explicando como limpiar el evaporador del mismo ford ranger

Mine started doing that today!! 2004 Ranger FX4.

I have a MOUSE NEST right there in both my '07 Ranger & '99 B3000. Gotta clean it out, then spray Fabreeze in the intake to blow through system ducts. Mouse PEE STANK! ON MY 99 B3000 I heard the fan vibrating so I knew there was a mouse nest ON the squirrel cage.

Great vid. Gonna try this on my 96 B23. Very low airflow for some years now. I'll have to figure out why/when that door opens as well.

Thanks brother that help me a lot!!!!

Thanks alot again im ready for the 100 degree weather

Thanks so much, good video

This worked awesome! Thanks so much! I have an 08 and air flow was horrible now back to new! Mine doesn’t seem to have the door that opens and closes though unless it is stuck open. If it’s stuck open would this mess anything up?

Great info. Thanks

Good video.

thank you ☺

i will try today amigo

Hello, could you show me in A video there is a white vacuum hose that is not connected in my car in my engine that I need if you could indicate

My passenger side vents blow at 100%, however the driver side vents blow at barely 10%. Is there a similar squirrel cage / grill on the driver side to clean out?

Since I have Lexanna's glove box out, I may as well clean my fan before putting it back together.. With a little luck she will make it to 60K.

Bother this video kept me from selling my ranger because of the ac not blowing hard

Ok so my 2004 Ranger doesn't even HAVE the screen. Don't know if it came that way or someone got rid of it.

Where do the line for the ball go one of mine is broke off and I can’t seem to find where the line goes

My 07 ranger doesn't have a screen by damper door also it stays shut doesn't open or close must have a leak somewhere

Is it better to clean it from the inside or the outside ? And what is that spray you put on the electrical connectors?

I've cleaned my screen a every year. I've done it so often with cleaners and wire brushes I ended up tearing the screen and now there's a huge hole. On the plus side, there's great airflow, in Vegas during the summer this matters. On the downside, I have no idea how long my blower is going to go without protection from the screen. Do you have any idea on how to replace the screen? Or if it's even possible?

how or when is that trap supposed to move by its own? mine only seem to move when im pushing it. Managed to vacuum the leaves that where behind but I still have no air flow or so coming from the dash vents. Thanks for your help!

My 02 doesn't have the screen went to clean it lifted the flap behind glove box no screen. What now? Any help appreciated

so if that door in front of the screen never opens i can be sure i have the vacuum problem? my symptoms are entirely the same as yours at the start, but that door doesn't open when i change modes from defrost to cabin.

Will this work for a 93 ford ranger?

Vacuum line may have a hole

Why would my low speed not work ? Speeds 2 through 4 work fine.

That screen would be 86'd if it was in my rig.
