    Can anyone help me identify whats going on. I am not sure what the part is. It is a repetitive machine gun sound, almost like something is stuck and it keeps clicking. It coming from the connector that's in the pic.

    Thanks...

    Is that passenger side, under the dash? It's hard to tell. If so, check your blower motor.

    Is is the passenger side. Its the part that the connector with the red wire goes into. I can feel it when I put my hand on it.

    Sounds like a fan blade of some sort hitting something. Can’t tell what that part is in the pic though. Is that behind the glove box?

    Its to the left side of the glove box. Its the part connected to that red wire. It does not matter if the heat or ac on on or off. Sometimes if I shut my truck off it will stop.

    Does it do it all the time or only when the fan is running?

    Could be something rattling around if only when fan is running.

    No, the fan does not matter. On or off.

    You could pull fuses to make sure it’s not electrical. It should be pretty obvious is it’s the fan.

    What about if you turn recirculate on or off? Any change?

    My go-to for any noise around the glovebox is a clogged cabin air filter or the blower motor.

    When I hear it and I slide my hand up past the connector I can feel it in the part.

    I’d uninstall, inspect, and reinstall the servo before buying a new one.

    I don't recognize the part, but my guess is it is a relay. It could be faulty, or what ever is energizing it is broken.
