clicking sound under dash

hello,
my wife's '99 Explorer Limited is making a clicking sound under the dash. The sound is coming from the passenger side, and doesn't seem to be related to the A/C or heater, as both work fine. If i open the glove compartment, and reach back inside the dash, I can feel something clicking, but I can't see exactly what it is. Any suggestions?

thanks in advance!

Sounds like a bad blend door motor.

so you think it must be related to the heater and/or A/C?

Must the entire dash be removed to find the problem?

Before pulling things apart, try isolating the problem. If you think it's climate control related disconnect any fuses that are part of the circuit to see if the problem goes away. If it goes away, then you know it's climate control related.

strangely, the clicking has gone away, and the heat and a/c work great!

Now i'm trying to figure out a completely new problem with the same truck! bad injector? # 3 misfire is all i have to go off!! (wish all i had was the damn clicking sound)
