Ugh, I've been involved in problems that deify logic before. Did you send your old unit to Beckman for testing?

The vent flaps have position sensors ( potentiometers ) in addition to pots on the dash face to control air , I'd probe the voltages / look on the HHT at the values. I'm wondering if when run in manual HHT mode they are ignored but when run through the climate control buttons it cause a problem.

I'd also change the version coding to something else and check the results ( I don't think anything will "burn up" if this is done. Remember, this unit was also used on similar year C class. ( E class is different )

I've got 2 wiring diagrams of that area R23/1 though 3 are the vent flaps , r 1 through 3 are the dash knobs,
