The switchover (green arrow on black knob) performs two functions:

One, which you heard, is to operate a vacuum pot that redistributes airflow.

Second, it also switches current from the heat/defrost fan to the A/C fan.

If your fan works when you apply 12V to it, I'd suspect the switchover or the blower regulator, with more emphasis on the former.

Heater blower is back agains the firewall, A/C blower is at bottom of console.

Switch is on console, it's fairly easy to remove the console and see what's in back.

Vacuum element is on driver's side of HVAC box, if I recall correctly.

On the W114 which may or may not be the same as your 240d, the air flap just above the throttle pedal has a switch on it to redirect the current to the AC fan or heater fan. The clunk may be the flap moving but not making the switch.
