Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My cars HVAC system makes a clicking
sound (4-5 times) when the system is
turned on. It doesn't make sounds when I
switch it from hot to cold. It also makes the
same noise after the car has been turned
off for a few minutes. Just wondering if it is
that actuators and if so which one will need
to be replaced? Chrysler 200 LX 2012

Recirculation actuator, if you have the automatic climate controls it will move this actuator at startup every time. I believe it is farily easy to access behind the glove box. All the actuators are the same in your car, if you can't find a "recirculation" actuator get one for the blend door. Should be plenty of Youtube vids on swapping out one of these.
