I think my car may be haunted by the foot vent ghost 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael Kraynek on  Tue Jul 31 06:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've seen this problem for years, but i'm finally bored enough to post it (the boss is away this week).

here's the situation. . .

I'm driving up a hill in my 87 240 in, let's say, third gear. This is a fairly steep hill in a residential area, so I'm going to have to downshift soon unless i want to get out and push. Before i downshift, as the car is reaching the "bottom" of third gear and the pedal is to the floor, THE FOOT VENT COMES ON. the foot vent wasn't on before, and the switch still works that turns it on, as do the defrost and recirc switches. If i turn on the foot vents, and i repeat the above steps, nothing out of the ordinary happens (i.e. they don't do the opposite and shut off)

has anyone seen this before? is there a solution? is it cheap? if not, i'm happy just telling people that my car is possessed so that i don't have to drive them arond anymore.
