During driving all of a sudden my AC starts blowing air to the floor for few minutes then came from the defrost vents only. Nothing coming from the dash. Can it be all three blend door actuators damage? In the past there were some clicking noise coming from under the dash board.

I’m having the same problem with my car. But the only things is that I already replaced all 3 door actuators. Could it be that one of them has stoped working or could it be something else.
