Play in Steering Wheel by bigboi1

I have a 2004 300M Spec. w/70K miles; about two months ago I started hearing a clucking noise coming from the top part of the engine at the back fire wall. I had my sway bar links replaced and the noise was still present. A few weeks ago I notice play in my steering wheel and was told the bushings on my rack in pinion mount was bad and that is in the same area where I here the clucking/knocking noise; any advice out there?

300m ac problem by harmoush

I have a 1999 Chrysler 300M that has the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Unit fan stuck on high no matter what is selected (Auto, Manual or OFF). It comes on high when I start the car and cannot be turned off. I check the associated fuses (OK) and looked for stuck relays, but there are none associated with the ATC.
I reset the AC through a certain combination of buttons together but useless someone have post before that a blower motor power module which located on the lower right side of the HVAC unit housing and is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). It could have failed on so the fan runs full speed whenever power is on.
But any idea where HVAC unit or BCM exactly are? And how they look like???

Hi,
 
I had to finally take it to a mechanic since my attempts at fixing it were futile. He replaced what he called a "Fan Control Module," those were his words for it since I could not verfy that name anywhere. The FCM apparently has a "resistor" in it that burned out (open). When that happens, one can not turn the fan off or control the fan speed, although every thing else works. In any case, that fixed the problem. That module took six months to get because Chrysler's supplier for that FCM no longer made them so I had to wait on Chrysler to get a new supplier. The cost for the module itself was about $190.

Hi, I have recently had the same problem with my 99 300M. The situation with the ac is whenever i turn it off it will then just go into blower or maybe defrost mode at full speed, just blowing all the air down near your feet. Ac still blows cold and everything works fine but it just wont turn off or adjust any air speed at all, just full blast at all times. Is this the exact issue that you had? If so youve saved me a fair amount of money!

$190 for the module and about $40 for installation, I believe.
