Having trouble with the recirculate door. It isn’t closed all the way and leaks. Heidi had cold feet for our trip. Maybe the actuator is messed up?
If it is only the passenger side then it is likely the passenger side actuator not recirculation otherwise you would get cold feet as well (I think) I don't think it has a separation for left/right but it might.
Try forward heat to confirm passenger side not working or not, use a thermometer to check both sides

I will confirm temps but we do have heat blowing on that side, on the floor and cold air pouring out of the lower cover for the HVAC assembly right below the glove box.

you could maybe verify by putting it on front air, and defrost. this cut's air to the passenger side. if you still have cold coming in then it's probably the box leaking.
just guessing though

I bet that's the problem and not the recirulation door/actuator
not sure what you have to do to lower the whole glove box, when you have it open there is a little tab to drop the door down beyond that not sure. Might have to pull the passenger air bag (maybe) to get access from above it.
someone else did it or had it done but it's been a while no idea who
I went out and looked at it. I opened and lowered the glove box and can see a horizontal but slightly angled case joint right above the blower housing. It is on the cold outside air side of the blower. Thats a good 8” long joint with a screw at each end. I will get some sealer and try sealing it up to see if the problem goes away. It’s sleeting out tonight and it’s parked outside. I want it clean and warm for this repair so it sticks.

I also actuated the recirculate door and can confirm its movement.

I could try that. I have to have her drive while I check it out.
I can confirm the source of the cold air is not from the floor outlet. I can feel the hot air blowing out there. I can also feel the cold air pouring in further out towards the door. The glove box is also cold. I bet it’s that case leaking.
