When I have my a/c on "auto" to hold a desired temperature, like 70F, it stays in auto-mode for only a little while.
The "auto" light turns off. And the little orange lights that indicate the fan speed start going on and off. It it typically two lights that alternate and blink on and off, and the fan speed changes also.
I turn it back to "auto". It stays in "auto" mode for a few minutes and then does its own thing again.

Has anybody seen this before?
What is going on?

It is not extremely hot right now. Maybe 75F. The a/c doesn't have to work very hard.

Very strange...

 

Honestly, I think that the climate control systems on these cars are either possessed, or very shitty electronics.

Mine does the same stuff, including turning itself on when it wants. Also, when my car starts, sometimes the setting will go from AUTO to like 3 fan notches when I restart it..

BMW says this is normal, and it senses the atmosphere. I call bullshit and it is just not a good system.

 

first thing i do when i start the car is turn it off. climate and wipers drive me nuts.

 

The strange thing is that it used to work just fine, and only recently have I experienced this strange behavior.
Anybody else??
