Clicking sound when air system is on

Hi, on my 2000 TL, i get a clicking sound whenever the air system is on (heat/AC). It sounds like its coming from under the glovebox area near the foot area of the passenger seat. Anyone have any ideas?

sounds like something got inside the vents and is next to the blower motor

changed the cabin air filter? part runs from 12 to 20 bucks for a box of 2 filters,
they sit side by side in a plastic tray next to the blower

Air mix motor. The arm on it usually jams. Passenger side in engine compartment directly ahead of glovebox look for a thin cable going to the small about 1" heater hose. Spray some lube and work it around see if that helps loosen it up.
