    I've been hearing a clicking sound for sometime from the dash area. I was able to get the attached picture--it is basically looking straight up into the dash from the gas pedal. The white circular thing is slightly moving back and forth and making the clicking noise. It is clearly stuck and not functioning properly. Does anyone know what this is and what how to fix it?

    It is one of the vent controls of the HVAC system.
    You will need to investigate how it is broken, but usually removing the broken part and replacing with a functioning part is required.

    To temporarily remedy this clicking, switch your vent settings from one setting to another, until you find a setting that doesn't click anymore. I think it's a bad servo
