Climate control clicking

Howdy all, picked up my Red Legnum PFL last week. Moonroof, beige leather, manual. Yum. Love the car so far.

My main question is regarding the climate control.
If turned on (either auto or non-auto), something behind the dash makes a distinctive click (sounds like a cog clicking on itself, thus threaded)... unless I turn the temperature right to 17 degrees. Can anyone pin-point the mechanical part causing the issue? I can assume it has something to do with the temperate change? Dont know a whole lot so any advice is helpful.

As soon as the place dries out ill pull the panels off and fix mine.I was going to buy a new unit when i got round to it but this is the most cost effective way,good work.

5 months later and I finally decided to fix it no more clicking now

I finally got round to taking mine out today, its only been 7 months.Opened it up and the gears fell out.
But with alcohol and insomnia it is now fixed.Should have done it ages ago.
Wonder how long repair will last.

Was yours the gear? Mine seems to be thermostat and not vent selection related, i think its what tophler was describing with his.

yep mine was the gear it controls the temperature. Mine kept sticking on heater and its doing it again now old plastic gears are just getting brittle would be good if could get some replacement gear and do it properly

Have the same problem with this ticking noise behind the center console
But i think it is shitty to reach the screws
I decided to check this out this Season
but wait that it is getting a bit warm here
-4 Celsius is too cold to fix this problem
