This weird noise keeps happening in my 2009 Frontier, mostly when i have just parked and am sitting in the truck, or at stoplights with the radio low.
I began fooling around with the vent controls to see if it affects it, and it does.
I poked around on here, and think it could be a "mode door actuator and power servo"(PN 27443-ZP00A), from this thread: http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f23/help-blower-problem-53243/

Any help is appreciated! Especially from someone who has dealt with this before.

Here is the HAC section from the 2009 service manual.
Factory Service Manuals - NICO Club

As a guess...maybe something fell into the defroster vent (Pen?) and is not allowing it to open or close all the way?

Hmmmm. Interesting. I'll try and see if that's the case sometime soon.

It's odd because sometimes it clicks over in one shot and stays.

Thanks for the info!

Interesting. The Self-Diagnosis mode did not reveal any default.

Guess the next step is to tear into it and see what's what.

New video, taken from under the dash.
Shows the parts making the noise...
What the heck are they?

Bump.
Any help?

More I look into it, I feel like the blend door would be a much louder clicking. Anyone have this problem before?

Folks just don't have anything to add as its odd... the last vid you posted is part of the heater... blend doors (probably already figured that). my thoughts are 1)electrical issue with motor -its not seeing itself where it should when you select that setting (foot outlet? )
2)broken gear teeth?

Take it to a dealership and see what they have to say.

The recirculation door motor, disconnect the linkage and see if they will move independent of each other. Chances are the motor has stripped gears

Not too sure what to chalk this one up to, but replacing the motor with the exact same unit (NOT the newer unit), fixed it.

PN 27743-ZP00A was the PN for the motor. One dealer told me there was an "upgraded" PN, and when I picked up that unit, it seemed to want to over rotate the unit. It also had a vertical slot where the horizontal slot should have been.
I went to another local dealer that had the EXACT PN I was replacing, and it worked like a charm.

Case: CLOSED
