Noise from A/C while recirculating interior air

Good Evening folks, This morning my truck started to do a strange noise while the A/C recirculating button is on, its a constant popping noise, i took out the glove box and i saw that the two lids that close the exterior air flow are making the noise, anyone had this same issue?

A video, bad one, sorry for the quality and darkness, just wanted you to hear what im talking about


i cant make the friggin video appear LOL

 

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Stops just as soon as I hit the recirculation button to outside air. Let me know if you find the solution. I have a new born at home and won't have time to work on it for a while.

 

Will do!, My warranty expired last march, so Murphy law says things will stop working now LOL

 

I took out the plastic piece between the windshield and hood. The dampers don't seem to end to close, as if the electric motor that closes them just want to keep closing them... damn it...

 

Mine is just the opposite. It works ONLY on recirculate.. unless it's cold outside. If It's hot out or I'm running the heater using outside air I get the popping noise. I've traced it to the white synthetic plastic arm that controls the door. It appears that the gears (also synthetic plastic) that move the arm have fatigued and when it's hot around them the plastic gives way and the gears slip. When it's cold there's no problem as the plastic isn't as soft. Looked into fixing it and the whole unit would have to be replaced at a cost of over $1000 just for the parts. Maybe I can find a junk yard and pull it myself.

 

yeah, I look at those plastic pieces, if those need to be replaced, then I dont think you need to replace the whole unit. I found this diagram in toyodiy.com seems the parts that need replacement are 87296B

no inputs?

 

my 2005 tacoma double cab just started making that stupid noise when i turn on the recirculating button on, then it stops when i turn it off.....freakin irritating...have you found exactly what i would need to repair it..parts etc..help me out please

 

Mine does the same thing no matter what setting it's on but only on the last quarter turn on the heat control. So I can go 3/4 of the way and no noise once I get to that last 1/4 turn it makes the noise. I also noticed if I disconnect the connector on the passenger side next to center console just under the dash the noise stops. Don't know what that plug does.

I'm havin the same problem. Has anyone figured out a fix for it?

 

Servo controller for the recirc damper. Replace it. It should be simular to post # 05 in this thread:

Was this issue fixed / followed up? What was the problem.?

 

This just starting happening to my 07'...When i press the recirculation button off (amber light on) the constant pop noise comes on....any ideas? is this going to be expensive?

 

Rock auto has them for under $40

 

Most likely the servo for the recirculation door, if you go aftermarket don't be surprised if you get a bad one the first few times like the guy in the thread below did.
