Recirculating air control

I have a 2010 F-150 4X4 XLT CrewCab. I am stumped about using the button to control the recirculating air in the cab. When I press the button the light comes on, but goes off shortly thereafter. Cannot find anything in the owner's manual about this. Not a real problem, but I would like to know if it is on a timer or not. Just wondering if this is normal? Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you been running the defroster? I think that there is something in the manual that states that the recirculated air will run at any time except in defrost mode. Just a thought...as I know winter months in the northern tier states can be "fun"!

Not normal - take it back to your dealer. I'm wondering if you have a blend door/actuator malfunction, so it can't actually move into recirculate mode and is thus returning to fresh air mode.

I am about ready to disconnect mine and keep it recirculating all the time. My black interior is a dust magnet and with the thing always open my interior is covered in dust after a few days. Any tricks to keep it closed or recirculating?
