thanks i will try to take out glove box i don't hear the clicking but your help gets me closer to the door thanks happy holidaysIDK if this will help;
My Dad had an 84 FifthAvenue ,that had that problem, and when it started, simultaneously was heard a constant tic-tic-tic from deep inside the dash. It turns out both were related. I took out the glove box, and some otherchit and found, on top of the heater box ,was an electrically controlled gear box going tic-tic-tic-tic continuously. It had stripped it's gears trying to move the stuck door it was attached to. I think that mightabin the blend door. Anyway, I removed the gearbox, manually unstuck the door, put it where I estimated I wanted it to be for full heat(it was late fall), re-positioned the gearbox to match, screwed it back on, and left the device unplugged.That worked for the long Manitoba winter.
That would be “ATC”not cable --electric
In Dad's car, it, was pretty tight for room above the device, to remove the fasteners. I used a special ratchet that works different from the normal ones. Instead of ratcheting the handle in the usual way, you spin the stationary handle, which turns the head. It's pretty slick and has got me out of quite a few jams. It was a gift to me from my son, a lotta years ago..
