This is a specific problem, so I thought I'd start a different thread.
I have 2015 and noticed that the AC system was beginning to smell a bit funky, so I went ahead and changed the cabin filter as the first step to solving the odor problem. While I was under the dash, I noticed the recirculation door was shut though I hardly use recirculate. I turned the car on and ran the AC only to find that the recirculation door does not respond when I press the recirculation button. It doesn't matter what mode the system is in; auto, manual, "Lo" temp or a higher temp. If the AC is running the recirculation door is closed, period. When I turn the AC OFF, the recirculation door opens to draw outside air. There is no other way to get the recirculation door to remain open (drawing outside air) other than to turn off the AC and to just run the blower.
I took it to the dealership and they did a bunch of electrical tests. Replaced the recirculation door actuator, issue persisted. They then replaced the entire AC control module, issue persisted. I'm at a loss. Suggestions? What else could cause the door to remain in recirculate while the AC is on?
Thank,
Max
