Hi guys. Have a '02 XLT. When I got it with 69k miles I noticed there was a cllicking sound from what sounded like the fan at the lower settings. it went away on high. Recently, the air duct system stuck on defrost and won't move now. So here's what it's doing:

Fan works on all speeds but there is a clicking sound that increases with the speed of the fan, imperceptible on high.

Temp control works and I get both warm and cool air. I can hear air redirected when I rotate from cool to warm setting.

Vent control: Only air from the defroster blows out, but the system will turn off and it will activate the A/C on that setting. It just won't redirect the air flow from the defroster.

So...any ideas? It doesn't sound identical to the actuator complaints in that i do get warm air.

Thanks in advance for any help.
