Recirculation Baffles next to Blower motor

From what I've seen it's likely the lock micro-switches have fallen off the lock housing.  Typically the actuators and controller are OK.

I've also seen those switches just fall apart, lose the switch arm, etc.  You'll usually find the stuff in the bottom of the door.  It's a fiddly job though, not a lot of room to work there, especially with those little clips.

Thanks Dave.  I suspect you are correct, as you typically are.  I'm going to be refinishing the door pockets, handles and armrests, so when I pull the door cards I'll take a look.
