Blinking recirc light - frustrated - would dealership even know?

when hot outside, and especially if car was in the sun for a while, the ac unit will reset itself. What most often happens, is that when I hit the brakes fairly hard, the recirc light will blink on the display and temperature settings and fan speed will return to the setting when I first started the car. The blower shuts off and then turns back on. I do not have error codes in the ac unit. Only thing that helps is to disconnet instrument cluster, and reconnect, I am then good to go for a while. I NEVER have the problem when cluster is disconnected. And, before you ask, I one changed instrument cluster and the problem still occured. Any clues? Is this the type of stuff a tech can figure out, or am I in for a run around?

Thanks!

If the tech has the MB Star diagnostic system he can probably figure it out.

I have not changed the climate control unit. I did change the instrument cluster but all the connections appear just fine... And I do not get fault codes from my cc unit when retrieving then on the display...
