Default clicking noise when selecting vent options

When I select one of the HVAC options, I hear a rhythmic clicking noise from the passenger side of the center console. This clicking occurs when I select all combinations of vent options EXCEPT face and floor vent, then the clicking goes away when the face and floor vent button is engaged.

I removed the HVAC control panel to get a look on the inside and found the small motor on the passenger side of the console, between the heater unit and cooling unit, to continue to turn after a HVAC selection is made, causing the clicking noise.

Is it possible to diagnose this motor without disassembling the entire dashboard?

Thanks in advance!
