Just fixed this issue in a 2016 Jeep patriot. It’s a blend door actuator. There’s 2 behind the glove box. The one on the left controls direction of air, and the one on controls heat and a/c. Auto zone has in stock for $30-$41. Just remove glove box, and have a flashlight handy. Not the easiest job, screws are a pain. But very easy fix.
OK. Found out what was causing the Clicking noise. The Air Conditioning filter was not re-installed properly back into the tray inside the glove box. Whenever I take my car to get an oil change, or an inspection, they always try to upsell you on stuff. That Air conditioning filter is one of them. They just put it back in incorrectly causing a jam that causes it to catch internally making a clicking noise. UGH. Glad I watched this video, and almost bought a new actuator, but that was not the issue. Just going to buy a new filter online, instead of the 4X markup they do at those service stations. Also changing my own oil again from here on out.
Bro I literally just asked someone if there's did it to after the vehicle shuts off! So your does too. Mu heat and ac work fine also. Did u find out yet what's going on? And has it affected anything else?
My 2010 is doing the exact same thing even after the ignition is turned off. Or if you use the FOB to unlock or lock doors. My ac does not blow cold air at all. I had the compressor lock up and replaced it and the ac worked for 1 day and then this started. The system still has good charge and vacuum.
SAME issue, clicking sound. Since no one found out and OP sold his car , I will have to take it apart! - Ok So it might be the Recirculation air-door actuator which is on the passenger side for a/c equipped Patriot. Make sense.
I watched another video and jt seems to be assiciated with self check at the start caused by actuator getting stuck between open to outside air or closed. For cheaper free solution just unplug the actuator [on the right for grand caravan] when the position is on closed. Who needs fresh air from outside nowadays with covid and all greek letters variants😂
@@JonnyAreo yes, my jeep compass 2012 does the samething, when i open the door you can hear the click, if I change the ac to hot then back to cold it does the click, check this video out..ruclips.net/video/ABtlxWmd-Bw/видео.html
You will have to remove the glove box an i have to lay in the passenger seat with my head to the floor so i could see up under the dash. With a headlight to see what i was doing
Same thing happen to my Ford Fiesta went to the dealership dude charged me 150 just for diagnostic he said it would be 300 total. 150 for diagnosis and 150 to fix. I told him no and he said I will drop too two hundred
bigpaulbunyan63 My 2012 Patriot is making the same tapping noise. There is another youube video on how to fix a similar noise on a Chrysler 200. The noise was due to a "heater actuator" that was removed and replaced. On the Patriot it is very different behind the glovebox as shown here. I'd like to know how to fix it myself because it costs quite a bit to have it fixed by an auto service.

terrance chimombe The jeep dealer just confirmed to me that it is an actuator. There are 4 of them and they charge $120 for the diagnosis then $400 to fix it. I might try to find someone who will do it cheaper.

Steven Beddingfield so there is 2 different parts or the same part just need to buy 2 of the same?
What’s the link or part number
Would this cause a smell as well? Bc it clicks, and I have turned it upside down looking for something dead!
@@melvonnahelton7979change out the cabin air filter.

Where is the ac filter located? Are you referring to the cabin air filter??
Thanks
@@alfenner3309assuming that's what their talking about
Mines does the same noise. 2013 jeep patriot latitude. I got the part have to find one which is bad on passenger side!
Tip: Can't fit both your arms and hands? Lean the seat back and sit upside down in the seat. Better view, better space
Same thing with my Wrangler 2011, even if it was off too.
I don’t know what is it, but I’ll follow the comments here :)
Did find out what is wrong with your wrangler? My does the same thing
Same here on my 2013 wrangler
Very common on most newer Mopar vehicles. My 2013 Jeep Patriot does it all the time.
It’s the blend door actuator motor gone bad. Easy fix around $30 for the part.
Is that located under the steering wheel? Mine is clicking by the glove box, and currently have no heat.
My 2013 jeep patriot latitude does the clicking. I have the part its the blend door actuator. But it has stopped clicking.
So wht is it?
@@maxdonnini823 it was the blend door actuator.
Amazon sells actuators, just make sure they fit your model
My 2010 Jeep Compass is doing this but the ac and hear work just fine. The sound also happens after the car is turned off too

Ya my 2014 does it too
@@annettehowell1457 you need to change the HVAC Resistor. Look it up
My 2012 Jeep Patriot does the same thing. I replaced the actuator and that was not the issue.
There is more than 1 actuator
Did you find the problem and the cause after so many years with that clickig noise
I just bought a dodge nitro 2010 it's doing the same thing now after I shut the vehicle off it did it again WHY AND DOES YOUR DO THAT TO?

can you post the part number for the actuator you replaced
It's your actuator, I have 2012 jeep compass did the same thing
My 2012 patriot does the samething, but itll set and click while the vehicle is off also.
Lance Duvall mine too dude. Going through it right now.
I'm experiencing this right now too
Blend door actuator
@@jimmyruiz8771 what do you mean by that? Is that the problem?

According to this video, the part number might be AA-113800-2640 .
I am having the same problem. However, my A/C is not working. Anyone having the added A/C problem?
My 2004 Cherokee does this just by turning the key without turning the engine on. If I turn the temperature knob up a little the noise goes away.
Its the actuator switch for the deflection hood theres a pin that breaks inside the switch
Having same problem. Do u know where it is located? Seems to be to the left of glove compartment.
@@blondarexicify there's 2 screws to the rightside unclip the switch then unscrew. Very simple job.
You will have to remove the glove box an i have to lay in the passenger seat with my head to the floor so i could see up under the dash. With a headlight to see what i was doing
It was 34 $ for a new switch. Go on Google and look up deflection Hood actuator switch to see what it looks like.
Im here if you have anymore ?s
Does it work off of vacuum, i have vac leak and cannot find it, p0171.
No. These are typically electronically controlled unless you get into much older vehicles.
My 2016 jeep compass is doing this It's a jeep problem that shits wack afff
Ended up selling the car before figuring it out... Still think it was just a broken tooth or lever on the white gear, but no proof. Sorry.
I have the same problem
I have the same issues with my 2012 jeep compass
JON BLAZZE mine just started doing the same thing.
Same thing happen to my Ford Fiesta went to the dealership dude charged me 150 just for diagnostic he said it would be 300 total. 150 for diagnosis and 150 to fix. I told him no and he said I will drop too two hundred
My 2011 Patriot makes this same sound as soon as I even unlock using the remote. Do you think this could be the same issue? One of the actuators?
Hi .. I have the same sound also when I unlock the car by remote .. did you solve the issue ??
I have the same issue too, when I unlock it with the remote it does that sound.
Unfortunately I still haven't fixed the issue, nor do I really 100% know what it is. 😔
Having the same problem
I already fix the issue .. I change the Acture
My Jeep Grand Cherokee does this when I turn it on for like 8 seconds plus my ac doesn’t work
Replace the actuator motor is bad.
Got it fixed! Looks like it was a $200 fix!!
Please explain
Ouch. Literally a $10-20 part.
My Jeep is doing this. Did you ever figure out what was wrong?
Matthew Edwards nothing specific enough to fix it... I'll try and upload all the info I have later to help narrow it down.
