Default Weird HVAC issue

Here is a strange one, had it a few times over the last couple of months.

Sometimes the HVAC develops a mind of its own, take yesterday for example.

Driving up the M3 towards London with no problems, then suddenly the system increases fan speed to guesstimate 3/4 and 15 seconds later drops back to normal. Repeats over and eventually stops after 10mins.

Whilst the fan speed is at 3/4s and you press the HVAC off button, the HVAC switches off but the heater fan continues to run at 3/4 speed almost like the fan is getting power from another source since the HVAC off should have stopped the fan.

I can get the system to restore normal behaviour if I hit the off button whilst the fan is at normal speed and then switch it back on again.

No faults in VCDS, so I am guessing relay or something. Not sure how its wired, but could the solar roof relay cause this. Last night it was almost dark when this happened, so not sure.
