climate control has a mind of its own

[Nate Stanley]

Has anyone ever had this happen?

on my 1984 300D Turbo,

Usually my A/C blower operates at a speed that I'll call breezy-- not enough to really cool you on a 90 degree day, but it still beats having the windows down.

This even happens with the fan switch set to high and the temp wheel set to full cold.


but once in a great while, usually when it's cold outside, when I first start the car, the blower operates at a really high speed.

After awhile something in the climate control kicks the blower down to a slower speed. Once it does, nothing I can do can get it to go back to its previous high speed.

Is this a vacuum or an electrical problem?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I don't understand the question... you said Climate Control... it is in control.... this is a first cousin to HAL from "2001" IT is in control...

I'm sure we all understand in a W123, "climate control" is a VERY loose definition.

Sometimes I miss the days when you just yanked a cable and you got a huge blast of air from a vent down by your feet, as in Ford Falcon--but I sure don't miss Falcons...
