pull the glove box out and look up at the recerc door It.s probably laying on top of the blower motor. you need to roll the dash back to replace the housing for the recerc. It's not as hard as it sounds and the part is a updated housing w door and motor and very cheap for all you get. about 25 bolts to get the dash to roll back and while you have it back take the fresh duct that the housing fits against out and remove the screen then reinstall it. It takes me about 45 mi to do the job. I have repaired many. It will take you longer just because it is the first time. You have to drop the steering column and above that there are 2 bolts that were coverd by the column

Here are some How To videos that are great showing the replacement of the vents. They are priceless.

Good video but newer rams are different and dont require as much work to get the dash out you have to remove both a pilars covers 4. 10 mm bolts the ft dash speaker cover that just pops up behind that are 2. 10 mm bolts and 4 8 mm bolts . under the glove box there might be a support strap 1 10 mm bolt not all trucks have this bolt you have to pull the drivers knee blocker 3. or 4 screws. and the steel plate behind it 4. screws. there is a support bar held in by screws and that open the way to drop the column that held in with 4. 13 mm nuts before you drop the column remove the brake switch so you dont break it. after the column is droped there ar 2. 10 mm bolts above it in the big alum piece . if there is a console it needs to be removed 3 or 4. 8 mm bolts in the deep holes that are filled with spilled coke and penneys. in the center of the dash near the floor there are 2. 10 mm bolts. you need to remove the pass kick plate and threshold seal (all one piece) disconnect all the wires that are behind there . there is a cover on each end of the dash that need to come off on the left side there a 3. 13 mm bolts on the right side there are also 3. 13 mm bolts the bottom one on the right is removed from under the dash by the wirring. on the pass a pillar there may be wires that may be pluged in or not but need to be popped loose. when all the bolts are out stand on the pass side lift the dash off the hookd and pill it over and set it on the seat leave the drivers side alone. now you have access to the recerc door and housing. un plug the recerc motor remove 2 brass screws grab the recerc motor and pull to the rear and up . make sure nothing is in the blower motor. sit the new housing in place and almost flush but you have to tap it up high to get the housing to lock down then put it all back together all the bolt size's are head size

yes its under the extended bumper to bumper warranty. I just hate going to the dealer the lat time i took in to have a ujoint replaced they told me is not covered i, of course the smart a** asked since when did they move the ujoints out beyond the bumpers? need less to say they finally fixed them after a few phone calls.
