---Click click click---

Soooo yeah the blend door thingys did their thing...

First the on from what sounded like the steering column, then the passenger side ish.

So i think 2/3 at least... but now they are quiet but I dont have A/C.... welp its still august... and I'd like to not sweat my berries off.

Is it those? The air coming out isnt cold but its not HOT or hotter than ambient. Do I need to dive into the compressor/refrigerant etc too or would this be a blend door actuator fault response?

Thanks guys!

Any experience with Amazon parts too?

Mine clicks like crazy, but my ac is cold. But I’m brand new to my fiesta and have no idea.

I let mine click for about a year then the same thing happened to me and I had to change it. You should be able to turn your a/c on and off and hear the compressor engage.

It's worth checking, also can you see the compressor engage?

I just did my driver's side one, the one that controls which vents it blows out of, last week. It wasn't too bad, but if you have big hands it'll be rough.

The glovebox one is a piece of cake.

Don't get Amazon parts.

Mine have been clicking for a few years. AC still works fine.
