[s-cars] was No Lights - now Temp Reg Flap Motor

[motogo1]

In my case, on my 200, after the car interior was warmed up, the A/C temp
would cycle from too cold, to too hot, and so on, and so on. Other 200
owners have reported the same symptoms. The only S4 owner issues I've read
was no heat, or very little heat.  Your problem may be related to direction
flap motors. No experience there, but it does sound like yours works when
you select it manually.
