I believe it is the blend door actuator. Because my brother is having the same problem in his 2013 300C. I sometimes hear the clicking when I start the car or sometimes before I even start it, and sometimes I hear it after the shut the car off. It is the sound of the plastic gear inside the actuator trying to turn but the teeth on the gear are probably worn out or broken. There are 2 blend door actuators on the driver side and 2 on the passenger side. The inner driver and passenger actuators; I believe you have to disassemble the dashboard to get to them but the outer driver and passenger actuators do not require the removal of the dashboard to replace them, but you will need to disassemble the lower trim and lower covers on the driver side and glove box and lower covers on the passenger side.

I hope everything goes smooth with your fix, good luck!
