Air re-circulation never worked (The three blinks). Dodge had no idea what was going on.
I figured out it must be the humidity sensor. As my re circulation would only work at night (or when it was cloudy). I couldn't bare the Texas heat anymore so I decided to do some research. It turns out the humidity sensor in some early model years (2011,2012,2013) were bad.
Ordering a new sensor with the same part number wouldn't fix anything. The part number for my 2013 is 55111389AD (which can be ordered through the mopar site). However the 2014 model year part number is 55111389AF. (my assumption is the the last letters indicate the revisions they've had to go through with these sensors). Ordered and replaced it with the 2014 year part number and now my re-circulation has been working for over 6 months.
Here's the fix. The sensor has a base (bracket) mounted to the top of the windshield in front of the rear-view mirror. There is a removable cover. Once the cover is removed the sensor can be removed. Use care not to remove the base that is attached to the windshield which can break and you may have to replace if your not careful.
Recommended removal procedure: Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable Carefully disengage the four retaining tabs that secure the cover to the humidity sensor bracket ... by pressing in on the right side of the cover while rocking the left side of the cover off the bracket. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, carefully disengage the metal retaining clip from the sensor bracket. Remove the humidity sensor and the clip as an assembly. (this is part that you saw in the photos) Disconnect the wire harness connector from the humidity sensor.
Installation of the new humidity sensor is the reverse of the above removal procedure. This should take less than 15 minutes.
