Dash ticking?

I had been having a problem with the dic and radio dimming and today my gtp started ticking like a clock... sounds like its coming from the center of the dash, does not change with acceleration, a/c, turn signal, hazards or anything else. ticking still occurs when i have the key in the first position and when the car is running. any ideas?
 


I feel like this is the only answer I give here. I'm 95percent sure your ignition switch is starting to fail
 


it does seem to be related to the air conditioning. sometimes messing with the air conditioning seems to start / stop the ticking
 


Take the dash panels off, the ones that are underneath the dash. Turn the car on and isolate the ticking, it will be coming from one of the actuators. Replace actuator that is malfunctioning.

They are a PITA to change, but it is what it is! Good luck.
 
ok well it sounds like its coming from the drivers side close to the center, i still have the dash off from doing the ignition switch. what do the actuators look like?
 
alright, problem solved. just unpluged the actuator for now... its stuck on a/c, so no heat on the drivers side. not really a problem here in so cal :)
thanks for all your help guys
