If you're hearing a clicking sound coming from under the dashboard of your Chevy Impala, it's likely an issue with a part in the car's HVAC system. This could involve the blend door actuator or the blower motor itself. Another possibility is that the air ducts might be loose and causing the clicking noise. To identify the cause of the problem, try turning off your HVAC system and see if the sound disappears. If it does, the issue is probably with the blower motor. However, if the clicking persists while you're driving, it's more likely due to loose components in the dashboard moving around.

Yes, it sounds like the issue is with the blender door actuator. I replaced mine about a year ago, and now it's acting up again. It's likely due to a broken tooth on the gear. The strange part is why the motor is running even when the ignition is turned off. In my case, the actuator clicks on its own, like when I open the car door, which can be quite frustrating. It usually stops after about 15-20 seconds. Changing it is a challenging task, requiring some contortion to access the gears and motor, making it quite tricky. It seems I made some mistakes during the replacement, possibly causing a misalignment that led to a gear tooth breaking.

If it's on the right side of the car, it could be the gear for the heater door with broken teeth, which can be a bit of a challenge to replace but it can be done - I successfully replaced mine.

Here's a paraphrased and unique version: "I purchased a blend door actuator for $14 on Amazon. It's located right behind the glovebox. You can find plenty of YouTube videos online that can help with installation.

Thank you for the discussion, guys. You have accurately identified the symptoms. I'm wondering, how much would the labor cost be if I buy the part separately? I may not be a mechanical expert, but I do have small hands. Appreciate any further input!
