Clicking noise behind glove box

[Jonno]

Hi all, having a clicking issue behind glovebox approx twice every 10 seconds, seems to be from the bcm but the vehicle has had an aftermarket Immobiliser fitted could this be an issue aswell ?? Any advise or updates would be great !

A likely cause is a blend door actuator. They control different aspects of the HVAC system: where the air comes from, temperature, and fresh or recirculate.One of the three is behind the glove box. The gears in them strip out and they make a clicking sound when they try to turn. They do normally click faster than that, but that still strikes me as the most likely cause. There's a long thread covering all aspects of that, and here's a link to it-

I’ve heard of that issue before however I think it’s a slightly different noise, have a wiper delete, recon this might be causing it due to rear wiper not being visible to bcm

I have heard of a clicking BCM happening to someone, so that also could be what it is.

Check your stalk, sounds like you are triggering the ear wiper relay.

Came here to say this ^^

Almost guarantee it because I was in this exact situation at one point. It was hard to notice because my rear wiper is deleted.
