Default Clicking in dash when I turn off AC

every time I turn off the AC, I get clicking in the dash, on right-center, sounds like where the actuators are.
Any ideas, please

Blend doors calibrating. Perfectly normal. Nothing to worry about.

Mr Keaton, thanks for the reply, the clicking happens when the car is not on, does it any time. I would guess about every half to 3/4 hour, all the time. Last night it wouldn't start, I got a jump, took it to the dealer, the OBD said the battery was dead. After $148.00 shop time, they decided that the battery was not dead, but that the re-curc' actuator needed replacing. I can replace the actuator, but will it stop the actuator from re-calibrating? Do you know if that is the resolution?

Please help

The actuator was probably stripped, thats why it kept trying to calibrate and could not. The system is designed to reset the actuators when the vehicle is turned off. If the actuator is bad and you replace it, it should fix your issue. Not sure what the "please help" statement is supposed to mean. The dealer has diagnosed the problem.

Is there a parts list diagram or something that will show me what part to order in order to fix the clicking calibration?

How about a procedure for getting eyes on the actuator? Close to the cabin air filter I would expect?
