"Ticking" sound

While I was driving to work the other day, this “ticking” sound came on and appeared to be coming from behind the radio in the center front console of the truck. So, I pulled over to the side of the road to investigate, it’s coming from this small square box right above the gas pedal behind the radio. Does anyone know anything about this? Can it be fixed? It sounds like a bomb ticking! Ha! I am posting a video and a picture. If anyone knows anything, let me know.
Thanks

Looks like a blend door actuator to me. Does your AC/heat work correctly?

Look up the reset procedure for the HVAC. That is the blend door. If the reset doesn't work and it's a bad motor they are easy to replace.

Thank you. AC and heat seem to be working fine, but my power seats controls though are not working.

Quoting alrock from another thread:

•Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
•Turn the Temperature dial all the way to the right.
•Turn the blower control dial all the way to the right.
•Turn the mode position dial all the way to the left.
•Simultaneously press and hold the A/C and Defrost buttons until the LEDs start to flash
•Once the LEDs stop flashing, calibration is complete.

Or . . . disconnect the negative battery terminal, reconnect, start the truck. That should also start the calibration cycle (it did when I swapped batteries a couple of nights ago).

If you're getting changing electrical issues, I'd start with the simple stuff. Check the battery connections, make sure they are tight. Look for corrosion on the connectors and on the cables - those could be shot if the corrosion gets inside. Last, I'd get the battery tested even if it's new. You need to rule out the simple stuff before getting into more complicated answers.
