94 ES 300 Cabin filter
Has ANYONE ever replaced the cabin ACC filter on a 94 ES300? It does NOT say where it is in the owners manual as some have suggested. I can't find it! Thanks to all

A quick search would have revealed this issue. Its kinda hard to get to. Its near the gas pedal on that right wall kinda toward the back. It is actually behind a plastic piece that is about 4 inches tall by about 1 inch wide. The filter just slides in and out. When I recently looked for mine, which did have one, I had to pull back the carpet so that it tucked underneath the gas pedal. DO NOT forget about looking for a 4x1 piece of plastic that you just clip off/on.

P.S. I even went to their parts dept. and they didn't have any listing for this type of filter for a '94ES.

It is avalible on ALL Camry/Vista/ES/Windom models from a gen3 camry (1992) and up.
It was an un-advertized dealer only option, and unless a customer requested it, they were not installed.
It is also possible to fit a filter onto the in-cabin blower fan itself (it's in cabin intake). This is located behind the glovebox.

When I ordered this car in 1994, I especially asked about a filter for the climate control, and I was told they were unavailable.
In fact, back in '94, cabin filters were unheard of in 95% of automobiles.

I don't know the part numbers off-hand, but you're just talking to the wrong people...
They've been selling it since at least 1992 (rumor than gen2 camries had the space for it as well).
It's a hepa filter, and about $70. You'll never find it for under $40.

Those pictures show the blower motor resistor!!!!!!! I've been looking for it for ages! Now I can order a replacement and I know where to find the old one to remove & install the new one!!! The blower motor resistor is the black thing with wires / plug running into it just to the left of the cabin filter slot....
