On my 91 Mercury Grand Marquis I couldn't notice it at all. That car had good engineering.

It will do it less or even not at all on a warmer day.

Just started my first run of Shell Gas & Truck.
So you think it is related to the oil?

AC seems to be working fine. If I turn off the AC, the clicking goes away.
Is there a problem?
Sounds like a bad blend door actuator. The cheap plastic gear teeth may have stripped.

Yes, or possibly also the a/c clutch relay in the fuse box. Both are weak points on Toyotas of a certain generation (especially if this is an early GX).
a) there is a replacement a/c clutch relay for '00 generation Toyotas, a few dollars on ebay, etc.
b) The blend door servo motors get copper debris on the wheels, and it confuses the sensors. Take them out, clean them, re-grease with dielectric grease and this solves the problem.
It sounds like one of these two problems.
Guess what's on my to-do list later this week? Yep, fixing the climate control servo motors in the ES...

It will activate more if its low on a charge, maybe try to blast it.

Unless you have the proper knowledge and expertise leave it alone.

I was just so excited to be using my first 6 qts of RGT I just had to tell y'all. I got 35 more qts to go.
100% normal
