The suspected cause is a defective connection to the defrost flap actuator, possibly involving a cable or plug issue. A workshop investigation confirmed the issue, and the repair was completed.

Inconsistent air circulation? Are the noises from the dashboard panel particularly noticeable? I am trying to pinpoint the exact location.

Yes, the inconsistent air circulation was key. Regarding the dashboard panel noise, it was a faint clicking, almost like something was obstructed. If the error code points to the defrost flap and the price quoted is reasonable, it might be worth having a workshop investigate before further issues arise. Is peace of mind not worth it?

Understood. Thank you for confirming the clicking noise correlation. I will proceed with workshop investigation as you suggested and advise when resolved. The issue was indeed a defective connection to the defrost flap actuator, as initially suspected. Repair completed.

Hmm, sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my E Klasse, although it was manifesting with inconsistent air circulation. Was the climate control behaving erratically? Did you check the dashboard panel for any unusual noises when adjusting the air distribution?
