Hello All - I have a 2000 C2 and the climate control system recently started acting up. Here's the details: A/C blows very cold. No problems with compressor or related parts. Vent selection has gone wonky. When I first start the car, I can select the center vent max cooling and max airflow and get very good cold flow from the center vents. It's very nice, and exactly what I'd expect, so I know it can work properly, which is a good thing. However, somewhere between 30 and 120 seconds after startup, some unknown action is initiated without my requesting it, a flap deep in the bowels of the system is moved, and I get almost no flow out of any vent regardless of what has been selected. If I turn the car off, I get another couple of minutes of good flow, then it clams up again. No combination of manual settings/auto settings/vent selection/recirculation will prevent the system from apparently closing all flow off, but any combination I choose will work properly for the first two minutes or so. Turning the ignition off every two minutes and restarting the car is not really the way I wish to enjoy my very cold air conditioning, even if that option seems rational at times when it's 100 degrees outside. Here's the list of non-stock electronics related modifications to the car, just in case there is any potential for crossover interference: 1) Fabspeed ECU. 2) Iphone jack wired into the aux input of the stock CR-220 radio. 3) Porsche Center Mount Radiator. Bonus info: Occasionally, the left front speakers will cut out, and when they do, I get some alternator whine and whine from the radiator fans. I'm guessing there's a bad ground somewhere in there. Would any of the climate control system share a common ground with the audio system? Any input or suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sorry for the duplicate post! Was stuck in moderation but thought I could post...
I don't recall entirely, but I had a 96 Audi with a virtually identical climate control control unit and I believe there is a way to get it to self-test. I got some codes and eventually sent it to this place to have it rebuilt. ModuleMaster | Rebuild Info
