Yes, it is going to be cold winter we better get this fixed up. I does sound like you have a blend door actuator that is out which would be the ticking you are hearing which is failing to move the internal door for the temperature control.
Here is a guide to give you an idea of what I am talking about:

Below are some diagrams of what it will take on your car.
See if this is where the ticking is coming from. Also, if you can take a video with your phone of the noise and upload it here it would help us figure the problem out.
Please let us know what you find.
Cheers, Ken
