Angry w126; 300SDL AC vent controls

So driving home from work today......my Air Conditioner Vent "controls" are acting quite strange (weird).

Unit is off (far right button). Push in the 3rd button, AC air is coming out of the defrost vent ....then within 4-6 seconds, flap changes, and AC air is coming out the Dash Vents. YEAH!!!

But wait.

Then in another 16-28 seconds, the flap moves and the air is not coming out the Defrost Vents. So, what did I do? I pushed the far right button. Unit off. If the unit stays off for at least 5 seconds, then pushing the 3rd button, repeats the cycle --- AC air starts coming out of the Dash Vents within 4-6 seconds after unit is on.

OH. And another oddity, if I leave the AC air running coming out of the Defrost Vents.....the air gets HOT.

Any ideas what the issue is? I have spare vacuum pods and my dash has major cracks, so removing the dash does not scare me. I need to fix this before I wear out my right index finger!!!


EDIT --- I took out the HELP!!! part of the original post.
