ac recirculation cabin filter door fault (1 Viewer)

[dualcabhj75]

Hey guys/gals, recently changed my cabin air filter in my 08 LC200 and noticed the white recirculating door was not moving in the open or closed position. It moves freely in the closed and open position regardless of the Button is pressed. (circulation & recirculation). I was wondering what is the process to fixing this. hopefully I don't have to pull the whole dash. I searched briefly to find a tread on here, but came up short. perhaps if there's is a link that someone might show me. that too would greatly be appreciated. any and all advice is welcomed.

Here’s another thread.

IMPORTANT: Check your HVAC recirculate door and answer Poll

This is REALLY important, it affects how well your system defogs in winter and cools in summer, and if a small amount of damage is caught early it could save you MANY hundreds of dollars. My door hinge is busted, probably by somebody who forced it open, not understanding how to correctly access...

For anyone that finds this instead of other threads, if you bring your 200 to the dealer lock the glove box and keep the key blade with you. This is the only absolute way to avoid the dealer breaking the recirc door.
