i cannot seem find it, but it is a unit that is behind your glove box.
I found it! The dealership said it was the Heater Control Module. Here is my post:

can anybody verify that this is fixable for free? my warranty is up (i think) and i don't wanna get the ol' dealer run-around if i can just 2-click it and not worry about it lol
I cannot verify this, but it took less than an hour to fix so I do not think it will cost a lot to fix.Originally Posted by Jeremiah
an hour at the dealer = like 3000000 dollars
That happend to me when i switched from hot to cold and vise vers. But not it doesnt make that noise anymore BUT I dont have HEAT ANYMORE SO i gotta get that fixed!
damn my shit started ticking, better take it to the dealership (still under warrenty)
its the heater control valve.
if its under waranty, obviously they'll fix it for free. If not, expect about 1 to 1.5 hours to repair (gotta remove the lower dash, glove box, and various HVAC ductwork just to reach it!), and about 80 bucks for the part.
Don't worry Blackpearl. Its just the bomb I planted under your dash. j/K
ManyBrews answered this and gave me a pic when I had the same problem. I haven't bought the unit yet because the dealer in Buffalo wants $125 for it and its Christmas. Here's the pic:
damn, i gotta remember this, i've been having this problem for a while now, and i just dont turn it all the way down anymore. the first time it happened, it scared the shit out of me! i thought there was like a midget inside my dash or something, trying to get out! lol.
I started experiencing the same problem a few weeks ago and i was thinking that it is just becuase my car was cold. Anyway, does this part need to be replaced? my heater/AC still works fine, its just an annoying sound (which i can just drown out with music). let me know.
Need some paint or bodywork done in Chicagoland or NW Indiana???.. http://www.alsautobodyexperts.com/

it may.
ok I hate to bring this old topic up again, but Im experincing the same problem. The Thing is I dont have the AC/Heater Unit on at all! As soon as I start up the car, I get this Tick....Tickticktickticktickticktickticktick Tick...Tickticktickticktickticktickticktick over and over again. kinds sounds like plastic on plastic. Like something caught on something spinning. Could this be the same problem?
