Ive notcied the past few weeks that my a/c will circulate between the dash and the footwells about every 5-10min of driving. It only does it for about 5 seconds then comes back the dash. Ive also noticed the fan speed will jump around a bit, going from low to high and then settle back to the current setting, not extreme but enough to tell. Anybody have a clue as to whats going on?

Blower motor going out for fan speed?

A/C module going out for circualtion issue?

Im just guessing here. Lemme know what you guys think.

It's a sensor failure, a very typical E39 and E60 issue.

I been writing about this problem for years.
