Default climate control changes speed with direction

My climate control changes fan speed depending which way I turn my steering wheel, right it speeds up and left it slows right down.
What's going on and how can I get it set up properly???
Can anybody tell me what is going on?

Wow, thanks for that, so am I right in thinking that the speed change is due to wear and not any faulty control or sensors?
Again, thanks for the write up.

Yep, typical symptom of blower motor having problems ... stuck or worn out brushes and/or unlubed bushings (bearing purposed) on the ends of the motor shaft going in & out of freer spinning positions.

My experience and a simple repair to the OEM fan motor (and still working perfectly well over 5 years later) >>

Watch those new blower motors. We received two from Audi that were wired backwards.
