Is there clicking with the A/C pushbutton in the off position? Try moving the A/C temp wheel to different positions, if the "clicking" changes OR goes away for a while then you have a problem with the feed back resistor mounted to the A/C blend air door. When this "resisror" goes bad it allows the A/C vacuum control valves behind the glovebox to click on & off.
