"Clunking" noise, not clinking.

Back at it again with this POS. Why we still have? I don't know... When I turn the steering wheel either a lot or a little in either direction, a clinking noise comes from the front end. Doesn't matter if the car is moving or not. Am I looking at a new rack and pinion in the near future? Or might this be a lower control arm problem?

Yea, it's a love hate relationship. But not sure if I love to hate it, or hate to love it.

Ok, we'll turns oUT the FCM that comes with the new fan assembly can be plugged into both ways. Crisis averted. I still hate this car!

ANOTHER update. FORD SUCKS! It was still overheating. Finally took it to a shop, they said it needs new fans as well as at her stuff. So instead of paying $800+ for them to do it, I bought a new fan assembly and FCM and just put it in. Still overheating. I REALLY need help here!

Well, turns out that metal cover on the FCM is part of the circuit. If it's loose then the fans don't wrk correctly. Problem is fixed.

Replaced the FCM, the fans come on when they want. It still overheats. Is there a problem with the plugs on the FCM on these vehicles? I'm ready to throw a match to this thing.

I know. The wife needed to go somewhere and that was my last try. When she gets home.e I'll look at the connector going into the control module.

Wow, the wife's 2007 MKX was overheating and the AC wouldn't work while at a stop. Changed the thermostat and tried to recharge AC. Overheated while charging and the compressor wouldn't stay on. Found out the fans weren't coming on. Tried to hot wire the fans and they wouldn't come on. So ordered a new set from Rock auto. Figured I'd go and try to wiggle the wires to the fan module and BAM, the fans came on. Left it running and recharged the AC and it didn't overheat. Now to figure out how to cancel the rockauto order.
