Clicking noise from glovebox??

Hi all,

Search got me nowhere, so now I ask you all -
I've got this insanely irritating clicking noise coming from the glovebox area when going over bumps in the road. It sounds like a relay clicking, much like the antenna relay clicks when the stowing the power antenna. I've read it could be the heater servo motor, but my heater works normally.

What could be making this noise? I've yanked the glovebox door (yes, it's empty) and felt around but nothing seems loose.
Anything else back there I should look at?

TIA
MAX

try tapping on the area with the truck running and see if its a loose connection or a relay that wants to fall out. just some ideas,

For what it was worth, it was the antenna motor. It was missing a clip, moved around and made the clicking noise. I had my antenna replaced, no more clicky noises.
