NamX69 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 So I have a 2012 Journey and there is a strange clicking noise for about 10 sec. or less from the back right panel where the 3rd row seat is at for about a couple of days now. It only happens when you first start it up, but if you turn off the vehicle and restart it again, it will not repeat the sound. I've notice when you do a cold start it will make the noise, except for today when I was in a drive through, it made the sound. I done some research, but what I have found that it could be the actuator, but all of them are in the glove box making the same clicking noise, but the noise is not coming from there, so not sure if it is the same thing. Thanks for any help you can give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 if you have dual air then you will have actuators in the rear as well, the clicking noise is when it iis resetting or a gear with a missing or broken thread on it.

NamX69 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks for the reply, I was thinking that, but wasn't sure. Do you know if it's easy to change out and is there one on each side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 just google on you tube, never have had to replace mine,they all are in a bad space to work on, i would only use a OEM MOPAR part myself will cost you more but better quality on a hard to change part...good luck ps as long as it is working and just clicking i wouldn't worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamX69 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Actually I have a follow up question to the same issue that happened yesterday, so the clicking noise also happens when the car is off. I noticed it happens right when I open the door(s)So is it the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
