Climate control resetting itself after engine start

["Rusty A. Schlacke" <oxide@worldnet.att.net>]

Anybody with a '92 or later with the new Hella climate control have the 
following problem?

Car running, set vent, fan, air, and recirculate controls to desired 
position.

Turn car off.

Start car, climate control doesn't illuminate immediately, when it does, 
it has reset itself, except for temp, back to full auto mode.

I know it didn't do this before.  Maybe a relay?  If you've had this 
happen, let me know.  My car is still under warranty, but I like to have 
a good idea of the problem before I take it in.

TIA,
