    Yes, that's what should happen - turn on recirc and low speed fan starts up

      I checked the wiring diagram and the recirc button does fire the blower on low speed. Good catch.

        I do now wonder if there is a difference in switches as my previous switch has an AC button failure, yet recirc functioned without activating the fan.

          There are 2 sets of contacts on the recirc side of the switch (separate from the AC side) with one going to the recirc flap motor relays and the other to blower 1. A bad contact on the blower resistor contact would fit your symptoms

            Random but I love how the A/C buttons feel on the E30.
