The dial does not move the air falpper to the right location its stuck on "face" and wont move to "defrost" or "feet" or anything.
Also,
when I push in the "arrow" button to have the air circulate in the car or get air from outside the car. I get that clicking sound you all are talking about.
Mostly the falpper I have no idea how to get into my dash without making another problem and I cant defrost. Again please help post or email me please. Thank you everyone.

A stuck flapper always gets me in a flap, Frank.
What I'd do is spray silicone or aerosol lubricant through the slots on the controls. Then operate the controls a few times until the sticking stops.
Those little straws are ideal for getting oil, graphite, moisture displacement spray, etc. Into tiny spaces.
Lord knows how we all long to set our flapper free.
