jeck, when your cold air stops blowing from the front vents, do you mean...no airflow? or do you actually mean warm air?

Our X5 just started doing this. about 30 minutes in (not every trip mind you), suddenly very little airflow from the front vents. The air that comes out is still ice cold, but even with the fan on max, no too much is coming out. It's not our FSR because i can hear the fan on, and it gets faster incrementally as i turn up the speed. since the vents aren't always broken, i assume its not the damper adjustment itself.

My only current conclusion is that it's the actual control panel. thoughts?
