strange sound..

well i was drivin around in my car today when i noticed a slight clicking sound from below the glovebox and when i turned the ac off it went away(also when i turned the fan up the clicking speed up and when i turned it lower it slowed down but i dont think nething is stuck in there or nething)..i looked under that area and still couldnt narrow down the location of the sound but i was hoping someone might be able to tell me what this sound is...
thanks

Well I've never had that problem before, but I do know that behind the glovebox is where the A/C filters are, so you may want to open the glove box and check it out.

yeah... you gotta take the glove box out. I'm not sure how good I am at describing things, but if you open it up all the way, you'll see two tabs on the inside of the glove box at the top - one on either side. If you pry those out, the glove box will pop down even more. Now, on the other side of the box, adjacent to the tabs are prongs that stick out that prevent the box from going all the way down... so make sure you get both of those. Anyways, once the tabs are off.... you'll see the screws where the box is actually attached. take those out, and you'll see the A/C filters on the back firewall of the car. You will have to snip some plastic to get to them, if they havn't been cleaned before. Heres a link with detailed instructions and pics. Check it out. Hope this helps.

You've got leaves or a twig down by the blower fan. The outside air intake is up on the top of the car by the back edge of the hood. if dirt falls through the screen, you'll get a sound like what you've described.
