ticking noise in the vent
recently, I'm hearing a loud cliking noise and it sounds like its coming from the ac vent above the radio. I need help? Anyone experiencing this or is it just me.

Snap, I've noticed the same. I think its the air vent fins when the ac is on auto, Shall be having a word in the shells of the local dealer.

its not just me!!
Yes!!!
I have been hearing these ticking noises also. I also figured they were coming from the AC vents above the radio, but I have no idea what this may be. I was too embarrassed to go to the dealer again, because I always complain to them about all of the different noises. But this one is definitely very very annoying..
I am also getting noises from the passenger seat I believe. I have a feeling it may be coming from the headrest, but I have no idea. It is very frustrating. I have to go in for my Service A in 500 miles, so I will give them a list of things to look at...
also, can someone explain to me the whole problem with the Purge Valve. I think mine has that problem too, but I would like to make sure.
Thanks

This happened to me once. Turns out, a leaf or two had gotten in through the outside air intake vent. After turning my fan all the way up, and down, and back up a few times, it finally freed itself up and the ticking sound stopped.
