air recirculation button doesn't work

hi guys..this problem has been here for a while but never got to ask about it..so the thing is, my air recirculation doesn't work..the button doesn't light up at all and i don't hear/feel any changes when i press on it..idk if it's just the bulb on the button itself or if it is working at all..i've searched an didn't find anything regarding this issue

please help!

thanks!

Is you position dial on defrost by chance. Recirculation won't work on defrost mode. If not check fuses first.

I'm not sure on the fuse. At work and have limited resources. Could possibly be a bulb but I think that is unlikely.

I think the recirculation button only works when the knob is selected to MaxAC? But I could be wrong. I never use recirculation personally though.

Just a side note, mine works fine, (I think).. But when I switch it on I dont hear anything change. I believe all it does it pulls air from inside the cabin instead of outside. This is suppose to help on a hot day or cold day when the air outside is dramatically different then inside. Not sure that it is suppose to make a different sound. Doesn't seem like it should. Thats my 2 cents.

hmm that's weird..cos when i tried my friend's air recirc in his RSX i hear a difference..like it seems like the fan blows harder when it's OFF and when i turn it on the fan isn't blowing as hard as when it is OFF. the light on my air recirc doesn't even light up
