Default clicking behind the glove box?

I hadnt driven my car for the weekend, Hopped in it monday morning to come to work. upon starting, there was some wierd clicking or clunking coming from behind the glove box. Any clue as to whats going on?

I was not in motion, I heard the sound before I went into gear.

Default Has to do with the heat & AC

There is an air flow control valve in that area. The clicking is not normal and means the valve needs to be replaced. The valves do not seem to have a long life span. I replaced the valve 4 times in my old 01 TTR. On the other hand, while the techs tell me that the valve is not working properly, I could tell no diference in the perfromance of the heat/AC unit. So I probably would not bother to replace it unless it is under warranty.

Default Would another symptom be a continuous cycling

of the A/C fan blowing low to high to low?

I've had the ticking and cycling for about a month now. It still blows cold, but cycling is annoying.

Default Hmm, I'll try the ac on the way home and see if it cycles high to low.

I normally leave the AC on low air flow.

None of my valve falures involved fan cycling - just the clicks
