Wink ac clicking noise

Help!! my ac starts making a grinding/clicking noise. I have to put it to hot temp to make it go away and then after a while I can lower the temperature. Can anyone help me to figure this out so I can fix it. Please and thank you.

One of the servos behind the glovebox needs to be replaced.

I've forgotten but if you do a search on the Gen1 forum you should find several threads on the subject.

Mix servo responds to Cabin temperature [hot/cold] while the Mode servo directs air to various vents. In Auto mode the vents keep adjusting the flow of air [you can get out of the auto Mode and step through various air flow pattern by operating the Mode ****. This should help you diagnose what is going on.
