So my wife has been complaining about a clicking noise coming from behind the glove box of her 97 Eddie Bauer. I checked it out today and this is what I found.
When the temp is changed from below 69 degrees to more than 69 degrees you hear the clicking. It has nothing to do with the fan speed or the direction of flow (vent, floor, defrost, etc) but only with temperature change.
I dropped the glove box and found the noisy culprit. It's a small box that appears to bolted to top of the blower box and has a small white connector plugged into it. When I unplug it it stops. I realize now what the part does. It changes the air temp from hot to cold. Also, if I have the heat on and change to AC (under 69 degrees) the compressor will kick on but the air will still come out hot. I have to power cycle the climate control a few times to clear it up.
SO, what is this temperature control box actually called and what kind of a nightmare am I in for in order to change it?
