To tell the difference between Blend door and Recirculation door issues, change it from Fresh to Recirc and see if you hear the door slam. If not, and there is no change in air movement, it is probably the Recirc door laying broken on top of the fan's air intake.

Short fix, remove fan with 3 screws under the passenger dash, by the floor. If the door doesn't fall out, reach in and take it out. You should be able to survive very well without it.

Long fix. Do a search on here and you will find a step by step dash removal to replace the door/motor/housing which should be a permanent fix. The part can be found at the dealer for about $14.
Back to morning refreshment,
