outside air door

On me 77 with A/C I noticed the outside air door is in the outside air posisition all the time except when I turn the system to off. This does not seem normal. What switch positions should it recirculate inside air?

outside air door

Bear,
The only positions it should be open would be:
1. Heating, i think it should close but I've seen it open on heating
2. Defrost, Need outsidfe air so as to eleiminate humidity in cab.
3. Normal A/C, Not sure on this one.
4. Vent, Pulls outside air to cool cab.
It should close on:
1. Max A/C, no ventilation load, 100% recirc.
Outside air vent should fail closed.
