What is the clicking sound when my HVAC/Heater on?
10

Asked by David Dec 25, 2022 at 07:59 AM about the 2015 Ford Taurus SEL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When running the Heat or A/C intermitted clicks can be hear near the control
panel. Sounds like cold plastic popping or cracking as it expanding. I have
looked on different forms some say an actuator I don't know.

It's most likely the temperature door actuator under the dash or the mode door actuator, also under the dash. There's a little motor and plastic gears in the actuator that wear and jump over each other instead of moving smoothly. The jumping is the clicking you're hearing. Hope that helps! Jim
