I have a loud clicking under the steering wheel when I go from hot to cold on my A/C. It’s not the passenger side. It’s right under the steering wheel.

Good afternoon,

Sounds like a blend door motor which is common.

All three mode door actuators are on the passenger side behind the glove box. the one that makes noise is the blend door.

Do you have dual controls or auto AC system?

Procedure

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.

2. On RHD models, remove the glove box bin See: Glove Compartment > Removal and Replacement > Instrument Panel Glove Box - Removal.

3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the blend door actuator (2) located on the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing (3).

4. Remove the two screws (4) that secure the blend door actuator to the air distribution housing and remove the actuator.
