    One can find many posts on this but very limited info on part numbers,
    installation notes etc.

    SYMPTOM:
    [1] Outside air inside of cabin regardless of Recirc Switch position
    [2] Intermediate Lever [recirc air motor-to-cable connector] visibly
    broken
    [3] Air Shutter not moving [as observed thru air intake with cabin
    filter removed, if installed]

    2 styles

    INTERMEDIATE LEVER
    [1] WHITE in color [obsolete] part number 3522160 [reportedly breaks
    easy]
    [2] BLACK in color [current style] part number 6808653 [List Price
    $8.20 in NH]

    NOTES:
    [1] The lever is not symmetrical, install with the FLAT portion of the
    squared hole toward the motor.
    [2] One side of the cable end retainer has an opening to facilitate
    slipping over the barrel-stop on the cable [much like bicycle handbrake
    levers], self-explanatory once you see it.
    [3] Once the glove box was removed, I found it very easy to install
    with the key in the "I" position, Recirc Switch "ON" [lamp lit]. Next,
    grab the cable with long hemostats/forceps to hold in place while the
    square end of the lever was easily manuevered over the shaft.
