Can someone tell me how many actuators there are in the 2009 370 touring model? Started up the car today and when the A/C was 'on' there is a loud clicking noise that is right behind dashboard. Seems to be near glove box area, but not exactly sure yet.

I have been looking for a technical diagram for the 2009 370 z that shows me where the actuators are located. I saw a youtube video where a person with a Nissan titan truck had to completely take apart the dash in order to replace two of his 5 acutators. UGH!

But I also saw another video where the guy replaced it from the glove box area (that was on a titan truck though). But hoping it is a actuator that can be replaced without ripping the entire dash off the car.

The second I turned off the A/C the noise goes away 100%, and the fan is still blowing. And then when I turn on the A/C again the loud clicking comes back. For whatever its worth, that is as far as I have gotten to know for sure what is going on.
