New blend actuator works sometime, makes small clicking noise when turn off key

What is your question?

In heat mode one day both vents are the same. The next day left hot, right cold, new acturator. The clicking noise was loud before installing new actuator, now it is a lite clicking sound when turn off engine and open door.

Usually when you turn the key off, the recirculation door will try to close. I'd check that actuator to see if that is where the noise is coming from. You can also try and cycle from fresh air to recirculation with the button to see if it happens on command.

Not that concerned about clicking noise as I am with the vent air changing temperature as it pleases. Sometimes both vents are the same, today driver side was hot, passenger side was cold. Might be the same again when I leave from work, just never know from day to the next. Actuator is new.
