It's the changeover valve located under the windshield wipe cowling. It's a pretty low cost fix. If you are in NY you can come in anyday next week and I can take care of it for you.

Same thing happened to mine. If you leave the auto button on then it doesn't do this for some reason though.

Yup...what he said. It happened to me as well. Cheap and relatively simple fix.
