Default where is the A/C filter??

i never knew the air conditioning system for a car had an air filter to it. i was looking on the honda site and they said at 120k, to change your a/c filter. soo now im curious...any one know where its located? in the fan somewhere?

98 Accord 5spd 127k, runs like a champ

More than just 'open' the glovebox...

You gotta take the entire glovebox out of the car (several screws?), the panel that's underneath the dashboard, then remove a steel bar the goes across sorta under the hinge of the glovebox. Then there's a cover that comes off, and the filters (2 of em) slide out.

I think the A/C filters are an option. He may not have them. And if he does, the hepa filters are around $100.00<-------------------I think, damn fuzzy memory...

It's not an option, all 98 and newer Accords have them. (In the USA at least.) Honda recommends replaceing them every 30k.

97 Accords don't have them. (At least in the USA.)
