What’s That Clicking Sound in the Dash? It Might Be Your Blend Door Motor
If you hear a steady clicking sound coming from behind your dash when you start your car or change the A/C settings, you're not alone.
One of the most common causes is a faulty blend door motor.
This small part helps control the temperature inside your vehicle by opening and closing doors in your air system. When it starts to fail, it can get stuck or try to move the door the wrong way—which is what causes the clicking sound.
You might still feel air coming from the vents, but it may not be the right temperature. Sometimes, it’s stuck on hot when you want cold, or vice versa. Over time, the noise can get worse and the motor may stop working altogether.
If your dash is clicking, it’s a good idea to have it looked at before it turns into a bigger repair.

If your tires keep losing air, there is usually a reason. A small puncture, leaking valve stem, wheel problem, or change in weather can all cause tire pressure to drop.
If your car AC smells musty when you turn it on, moisture may be trapped inside the AC system. That moisture can lead to mold, mildew, or other buildup that causes a bad smell from the vents.
