Ticking noise from A/C
When my A/C fan is running at low speeds I can sometimes here a faint tick or click which sounds like it´s coming from a stepper motor within the dash.
I had this noise on an old Alfa Romeo I used to own, cost a bloody fortune to fix it, and now I´m getting flashbacks from this ticking. Obviously if something is wrong, the warranty will cover it but it´s starting to annoy me.. Could be a software issue. Does anybody else have these ticks? |

You mean that you got a clicking sound in the dash area when you turn the rear heating on or off? Or did you get clicking from the rear air vents?

My dad had something very similar happen in his Ford Expedition, only when he had the rear vents on (A/C or regular air). It is a bad relay that needs to be changed. These things just go out sometimes. It's probably the same with your cars, although I'm no electrical engineer (my dad is). A trip to the dealer for a new relay should fix that.

There is an mp3 of a clicking noise in this thread:
