When the air conditioner is on, there is a clicking sound that seems to be coming from the passenger side dash. When the defrost is on there is a louder tapping sound.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a blend door actuator that has gone out. Here is a guide and some diagrams (below) that will help you get the problem fixed.

Once you have access the actuators turn the car on to see which on is making the noise.
