I have an 06 chevy impala and when running the ac is on normal it makes a ticking noise and it seems to be coming from behind my glove compartment and i'm having problems getting to it, it does not make the noise when I switch to circulate. Also, my car will not heat or defrost when sitting still.

I tried looking behind the glove department and I can see that when the AC is circulating, the air blend door is opening, but when I switch to normal, it's as if the door not closing as it should, it makes the ticking noise
