On my 2009 I have the infamous clicking behind the glove box. Many sources online have pointed to the actuator behind the center console, which is easy enough to fix. However, I dropped my blower and looked up in the hole under dash. What I noticed is when the "door" changes positions, that is the source of the loud clicking. Seems like this actuator almost two feet away wouldnt be the culprit. Any suggestions?

There are several actuators that do different things. The one above the blower motor is for the recirculation door. A bit of a problem to change as one screw is difficult to get to. Just to the right of the glove box is the temp actuator, easily accessible. Removal of the glove boxes will get you in the area.

What problems are you having besides noise?
