Help!! 04 Pilot "Clicking" sound under Dashboard Passenger Side

[michael118]

There is a continues "clicking sound" under the dashboard toward the center on the passenger side. I trace the sound to a motor like component under dashboard behind the center console, it has a blue connector. I disconnected it connector the noise is gone, so I am very sure the is the origin of the noise. I check it for a part number and it is AW063700-8160, googled it as a Denso part. Anyone know anything about this clicking noise and/or the part?

Suggestions?
Thanks!

Did a quick check myself. I suspect this unit has something to do with either A/C or Heater, so I disconnect the power connector to the unit and found out that the no heater will not blow hot air. It does blow hot air after I reconnect the power. So the unit is functional, but How do I get rid of the "clicking noise". HELP

I suspect it is the blower for the front vents. Remove it and clean it, probably got something in there. My blower is held in place with 3 small bolts, the one in the rear is hard to get to. While it is out, plug the blue connector in and see if it still makes the noise (careful with your fingers here).

Remember, this is for an 03. The attached file shows the removal of the blower unit, which you don't want to do if the only thing you want to get at is the motor. Look at the right side of the image and you can see the the blower motor can be removed on its own, unplug the power connector and remove the 3 screws.
