Was out of town last week and car A/C blew up. Was way too hot to drive back like that so took it to a local shop where they replaced the compressor, condenser and expansion valve. All seemed hunky dory. Got home and noticed there didn't seem to be any difference when I pressed the "recirculate" button. Dropped the glove box and saw that the flap which controls whether you're using outside air or cabin air was in the recirculate air position. When I pressed the recirculate button, nothing happened. It stays in the recirculate position. Figured maybe the guy didn't connect things back properly. Pressed some of the other buttons to see if it was working to change where the air came out of (vents, feet, dash). That all works fine. But, here's the weird part. If I push the button to have the air be only on the feet or feet/dash or just dash, the flap moves to the outside air position. If I switch the air to come out of the vents, the flap moves back to the recirculate air position.
So, the recirculate motor is connected, getting power and working. Just nothing happening when I press the recirculate air button. It has to be connected in some way to the work that was done.
For the life of me I can't figure it out. It's connected. Is getting power. And works under certain conditions. There is no fuse that or relay that specifically controls the recirculate function.
