About 2.5 years ago, the same thing happened to me and then I figured out what happened...your Final Stage Resistor is overheating and it is trying to cool itself down. Eventually, it may drain your battery!

Have your mechanic check your Final Stage Resistor which is part of your HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning aka Climate Control).

Good luck.

Is this normal?

thx,
