4 Defogger problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

My heater blows cold air out of three of the four vents when the heater is turned on. For one year there was a clicking sound behind the dashboard at randoms times during the day and night if the car was on or off it didn't matter the clicking could be heard inside and outside of the car. At this time when the heater was in use, cold air would blow out of the 2 passenger vents only. As time goes on the vents are being affected one by one. I now have only one vent that blows warm air when the heat is on and the others blow cold air.
