Doesn't seem to be leaves in fan motor as I've heard that sound before.

I discussed with shop foreman and he's willing to dig into it. Sounds like first step is to r&r fan motor and make sure it's not coming from there. He tells me if it's not, next step is to remove dash and check actuators on vent box. Sounds like a big job and wondering if I should just live with the clicking if it's not the fan.

Thoughts? Anyone experience same?
Did u have any thermostat replacement recently ?
No. Only service on car has been oil and iStep level updated to address trunk not always opening fully.

clicking occured before and after service.
