what is the name of the little black box with the elctric connector that is located behind the glove box. There is a small elecric motor within the box. The black box activates the lever that allows exterior air to enter the car or recirculated the interior air? Suggestions for a source of one?

Not cabin filter. This is an enclosed black box with an electric motor in it thta moves a lever to lets in or block outside air into the cabin. I call it an air motor but I am sure that is not the right name.

Found a mits 7g service manual and it is called the inside/outside air changeover damper motor. Boy that's a mouthful. Anyone got a spare they want to get rid of cheap?

Is yours clicking or just dead? If it is clicking I repaired mine by taking it apart, and resetting the gears. I think I just zip tied it back together.

Year it is clicking. I already rotated the gears once so figure there is no more adjustment left in it. Those plastic gears are garbage
