Clicking sound out of dash when AC cooling is on for a longer period

[Frostensen]

So, as the title says, when my AC is cooling the car, after a certain while a clicking noise starts coming out of the dash. It's constant until I turn off the AC. It happens only when the cooling is on (no problems with heating). It's really annoying. Does anyone have an idea what that could possibly be?

Sounds like a relay clicking away?

No idea Didn't even know a relay can click. Is there a way I can test that/confirm it is indeed a relay? Also, where would that be located pls.

Have you pulled fault codes? That might give some idea, there might be a stored code that can help identify what the problem is.

No fault codes that I can relate to the problem. I have these, but I don't think they are connected to the issue


Trouble codes:
00576 - Terminal 15 Electrical error in circuit
Intermittent
00883 - Ignition/starter switch (terminal S) Electrical error in circuit
Intermittent
00884 - Ignition/starter switch (terminal X) Electrical error in circuit

The only other easy thing might be something stuck in the ducts or in the motor, maybe pop the motor and pollen filter out and see if there's any crap in there?

Otherwise you might be pulling the dash apart to inspect everything

I think it's the pulling dash apart option...

Small update. The clicking came from 373 fuse, big blocky one under the s-wheel. I changed it and guess what. It's still clicking!!
Something is making the fuse click. I'm at a loss. I have no idea what to do now.

I have a very similar thing, when I have the AC on heat or cool. like a soft click every now and again was doing it at 21c last week - currently trying to ignore it,

I wouldn't do that. I started experiencing cut offs, weird dash glitching and nothing-happening-while-turning-the-key.
