Default Recirculation button doesn't work anymore

i have a 93 Accord and my heating controls is stuck on the recirculation mode which means that when I drive my car, the windows fog up on me automatically. My question is this, where is the door to turn the recirculation mode on and off? I'm thinking if I can open it back up that I would be ok.

Do you turn the A/C on? The windows don't defog without the A/C.

AN old 4th gen, the ac might not be working - never came with it - and if not working the cost of repairs might be more than the op want to do.

OP - from the pass floor, look behind the glove box and see if you can locate the motor. Never had a 4th gen so not sure if the glove box has to come out to get to it? Here is a pic that I hope will help.

Issue may be due to one of the following:

• Faulty heater control panel
• Faulty Recirculation motor
• Stuck door or linkage

1. You can see if the recirculation motor can switch to fresh air by applying 12 volt power (+) and ground (-). Unplug the 3-pin gray harness connector (Connector C439) to the motor. Apply battery power (+) to the Yel/Blk wire and body ground (-) to the Grn/Wht wire to see if the motor will now switch to Fresh air mode.
2. Otherwise, you can try to manually move the linkage.
