Well, I have the same problem and have found no answers in two years of searching. Just like you, only get heat on "HI". Changed out sensor but that didn't do it.

I have learned to live with it.

To me in the front view, the 986 looks exotic, and the 718 looks like a kit-car.

Someone tried to make their Fiero look special.

But white might not suit the 718, maybe it looks better in...
