Yes, fresh air & recric doors are indeed the same thing, above the blower motor behind the glove box.

IF you want to see if they are working?? remove the glove box, start the engine, select "min" & depress the center button. Then press the "ec" button to see if the door opens, if not press the center button again to see if the doors close.

If not you have a vacuum problem.
