Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH "CLICKING" SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND GLOVEBOX WHEN HEAT OR AIR WAS TURNED ON. WOULD STOP CLICKING AFTER ABOUT 30 TO 45 SECONDS. THAT WENT OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW, THERE IS ONLY HOT AIR COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN HEAT IS ON. IT NO LONGER CLICKS WHEN THE BLOWER IS ON BUT ONLY HAVE HEAT TO ONE SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION.
