AC clicking behind dash??

This past couple weeks this strange issue has developed. It started out as a once in a while thing, but now is all the time. When I turn on the AC, mainly when I first start the car, there is a fast loud clicking/knocking that comes from behind the middle of the dash. Lasts for about 10-15 seconds....Anyone know what the deal is?

It's one of the actuators going bad.

There are three behind your glovebox and a fourth behind the stereo, if you have dual climate control. Part is only about $40 but getting at the bolts holding them on is really, really tight. I couldn't do it and ended up having to have my dealer do it.

Thanks guys. I'm past my bumper to bumper. Just drive-train warranty left so it's good to know it's not an expensive part.
