buzz near the glove box

I get the same noise in my car (87 5ktq). I believe its the servo motor
for the climate control hot/cold air mix flap resetting itself. Generally
the flap is at a midway position when you park the car and the next day
the car interior is colder (in current weather conditions) so it moves
to the max hot position intially and then fine tunes its position - hence
the initial continuous buzz, then intermittent buzzes that stop after
15 seconds or so. Lubricating the servo motor's gears should stop the
noise but I haven't bothered to take it apart.
