Clacking sound from Centre console

[heartbrkr]

Hi everyone,

My car has recently developed a clacking sound coming from the centre console. It starts when i turn the car on, and dies off after a few seconds (5-10). At first i thought it was the cd player, but it does it even when its off (detached face). From the sounds of it, i would guess it is coming from air vents.

Anyone have any ideas, or experienced before?

cheers,

Is is when the aircon is turned on? Mine does the same at certain temp settings on the aircon. Haven't found the source yet..

Its an actuator on the heaterbox, need to pull the whole dash out to get to it

do a search on clicking heater box or something like that to find more info

Mine does this occasionally..

In my case it appears to be the actuator that controls where the air goes (face/floor etc).

Mine has a bit of a mental fit and begins to go back and forth.

A quick fiddle with the air direction and it fixes it.

Join the club boys..mine does the same upon startin the car up for about 7 seconds then it stops thank god.

Heater box is under the front passenger dash i think. Your right u have to pull the whole dash out to get to it.

My mate just did it to his R33 gtr. He had to pull the dash out to get to the heater box.
