How do you change the air filter on a 2003 town and country van?

Answer 1

Beside the battery you'll see a large black box with words stating "remove this to service air breather". The air filter is not IN this box, but you have to remove it to get to what the air filter is in. To remove this box, remove the two bolts that secure the box to the front of the vehicle, then remove the small hose that is stuck in the left side of the box. Then, there are two large, corrugated hoses that come into the back and bottom of the box; leave these hoses attached to the box, but loosen the hose clamps that secure these two hoses to the rest of the engine so that you can then remove the box with the two large hoses entirely from the vehicle. Now that the box is out of the way, look down into the hole to the right. There is a black rectangular plastic cover standing vertically; the air filter is inside this cover, also standing vertically and facing the right side of the vehicle. This plastic cover has two clips on the far side that hold it shut. Flip those two clips away from you, and the plastic cover will hinge open, with the opening away from you and toward the back of the vehicle. You can remove the plastic cover entirely if you wish; the hinged side (closest to you) is just some holes that fit over tabs in the air filter holder. Once the plastic cover is out of the way, you can see the air filter inside; pull it out and replace. Then replace cover, re-clip the clips and so on and so on.
