I don't have access to tools here at work to pull the panel below the instrument cluster or I'd check myself. I've read a few topics where it was mentioned that the charcoal cabin filters were left out in the later model years. Is this true?

Under the glove box? Alldata is leading me to the wrong place then. lol I thought that below the instrument panel was an odd place for them.

Already replaced that one.

I called Star Motors a few weeks ago and had them put 2 charcoal filters for my car in Will Call for my wife to pick up. She came home with 2 more dust filters.

Look at the controls and indicators diagrams in your OM it will mention the dash control, or read the index!

The OM should indicate if you have the control to turn the filter on or off, or not. If you have never turned it on, you probably don't need to replace it.

Don't confuse it with the charcoal evap canister for the anti pollution system.

05-06 have one combination filter above the small battery in the engine compartment.

03-04 have 2 additional charcoal filters in the cabin under the glove box. These are activated by a button on the HVAC controls.

Bagman is correct - 06 the filter is in the engine compartment .."05-06 have one combination filter above the small battery in the engine compartment."
