What Is This?

I was removing the glove box trying to make it completely silent, and I found some piece that was detached. It has a metal rod that seems to go to the firewall and the black plastic part that you see in the pic has a break in it. I found a logical spot were I believe it goes so that the part is almost at an angle of 90 degrees so that it could be pulled straight and return to an angle. Could someone enlighten me to what this is cause I have no clue.

That would be the recert plastic handle thats suppose to be connected to the recert motor. It has a square hole that fits on the square shaft of the motor. Is the square on the plastic broken, can't tell by the Pic. If it is get a new one.

Thanks for your reply, the handle has nothing on it that seems to go inside the square hole. So I am assuming it is broken and I will get a new one. I don't mean to be annoying but what is the purpose of the recert plastic handle, better yet what does recert mean?

Recert = recirculation

on the climate control panel you can select if you want the air in the car recirculated, or if you want to take in outside air. That plastic arm that is attached to a longer metal arm, opens and closes the outside flapper. That plastic handle is just part of the linkage.

Rich,In my car I always seem to get outside air no matter what setting I have the recert on.Very noticeable when there is a diesel truck in front of me and I try to close of the outdside air to reduce fumes in the cabin.Could this be the cause and/or what else should I be looking at? Rob
