S40 V40 Cars: tapping sound in glove box

[rayski13]

Every time I start my V40 2003 I get this tapping sound it appears to come from the glove box (there's nothing inside glove box). I have checked engine compartment and nothing loose or relay sounds. Could it be something to do with the air bag control system front passenger seat as after about 10-15 seconds the tapping sound stops until I re-start the car next time, no warning lights show on the dash at start up. Any ideas

That is the air recirculation switch that goes bad. It should only be happening when you start the car and you will be hearing a ticking noise for 10 to 20 seconds. I have made a guide of how to replace it. Let me find it and I will link it here later on today
