Default Cabin air Filter?

Hello Everyone,

When i first put my heat or A/C on i get a strange spell(almost like hospital antiseptic) for a few Seconds, then it is gone.

I have recently sprayed my door hinges and actuators with wd-40.
Do think it is sucking up the smell thru the cabin filter?

Also,
Where can i find it and how do i change it? i know i have not checked it in 8 years(if there is one)

Thanks for the help Guys.

Chipsta

We do not have them. The smell is probably crap in the air intake in front of the windshield or blower housing, both of which can be accessed under the hood.

Rangers don't have a cabin air filter. Don't know about the strange smell you are having. I recently had my 07' Ford Edge serviced for the thermostat and coolant flush, and for some reason the vents at first had a clean smell to it. Have you had anything worked on? I imagine the smell will go away, so don't worry about it.
