Go away or disappear
This idiot showed the glove box removed already and we did not see how.

Well that didn't work

Blaise like I said the clothes paean, zip tie both didn’t work this time. So what I did is find The flapper door, give it a really good shove, and that’s all there was to it for me. I called my Nissan dealership and he quoted me $350 just to diagnose the problem, not to mention the several hours of work it would’ve taken to fix it, so I was probably looking to have in the range of four to $500 or maybe even more. Again thanks for your video it worked for me the first time but unfortunately it didn’t the second time. Have a nice day bud.

Rusty Thompson says:

I actually did this about 2-3 years ago based off of this great video but the problem came back just this past week. I tried a clothes pin first and that didn’t work so well so I reverted back to a thick zip tie. And unlike my first experience when it took me over an hour to get the tie around yesterday it took me less than 5 minutes. Again thank you for the informative video.

Rusty Thompson says:

The clothes pin worked sooooo much easier than the zip tie friends. All I had to do was make sure the little flapper door that comes down was up, make sure you have your circulation air button turned off, and easily attach a clothes pin.

Rusty Thompson says:

This problem is now a problem again. Not only is the clicking noise coming on when I turn on my 2007 X-Terra, it’s coming on when I turn the floor heat on. I tried a pretty thin zip tie this morning that didn’t work, I saw in another video where you can use a clothes pin. Will let y’all know how it works.

Thanks, what an annoying noise.

I routed my zip tie a little different, but it still worked like a champ. I'd much rather fix the actuator, but being that Nissan made it such a PIA to do so, this will have to suffice.

Thanks for posting the fix.

Abel Herrera says:

What would be the actual way to fix it?

Pablo Rodríguez says:

Wouldn't be better to unplug that motor driving that A/C circulation door?

I'm doing this to my Frontier, I work 50 hours a week on cars and have no desire to spend all day on my day off taking the whole dash out.
