Default tap,tap,tap under my dash

I have a tapping sound under my dash, around blower fan housing area.Do anyone know what's causing it. It only taps when I turn on / off the ignition. It's a 1993 chevy W/T1500 4.3L TBFI.

I'm not a mechanic,just a dyi'er.How hard is it to replace the recirculation actuator,and do I need to remove the dash.

if it's the one that needs replaced it's pretty easy to get to. only 3 5.5mm screws hold it in. did u find out if that's the actuator making the noise?
