Hey All -
New to the forums. Looking for some advice on how to identify which servo is the issue since there seem to be at least 3 in my 2007 4Runner. I found the diagram and part numbers (https://parts.conicellitoyotaofcons...gas-engine/hvac-cat/blower-motor-and-fan-scat) but would like to know which is which before I start ordering and returning parts...
In addition to the intermittent clicking noise in the dash, now when I turn on the heat we get heat from the right and left vents but nothing from the two center vents around the radio/center dash. Any insight you guys might have as to where to start would be appreciated.

Have a 2007 4runner. Past several months notice intermittent slight rattling noise emanating. Sound like coming underneath vehicle. Three days ago had oil change and mechanic checked underneath with negative results. Check of engine/air and cabin/ac filters revealed either chipmunks or squirrels building nests in fliters. Cabin filter was loose and apparently cause of rattling sound.

I'm sure you've discovered the issue by now, but for anyone that is coming to this thread for help, it may be the solenoids that moderate the climate control. You may buy new ones or remove them for a quick cleaning. The free option would be cleaning those solenoids, and may out-rule other issues. It would be a good to get your head underneath and figure out the exact pinpoint of the sound.
This seems to be the most likely issue I'm experiencing here. Just so everyone can get a good feel for the noise, this is what it sounds like. It's been described as anything between a grinding noise and a clicking; mine clicks some but I'd say it's closest really to a coffee percolator. I'll have to take it apart to confirm it, but this seems very likely to be the case.
