My 97 escort makes weird noise in rain..

I drive a 1997 ford escort LX wagon and it makes an extremely weird noise underneath the car during rain or snow..., it sounds like a clunking or gurgling and is affected each time I touch the gas pedal. I had the exhaust replaced from the cat back very recently and even had a mechanic check it out, it's not the exhaust but it definitely comes from underneath the front of the car, both ball joints were replaced and both front struts so I know it's not them, anybody have the same problem? please help. Thank you.

SOURCE: 2001 Tarus clunking sound

very common problem is the sway bay end links that attach to the strut from the sway bar. They sound like a light chuckling knock over bumps. The bushings that hold the subframe up wear or the bolts loosed due to the bushings wearing. usually the rear ones The bushings are 2 piece ,upper and lower Tighten with 18mm socket

Can not find blower motor relay on 1997 escort lx

I have bypassed this same issue when we had our Escort wagon! I tried a new blower motor relay and no luck, from my research this is a common problem, i opted to go for the aftermarket fan relay from Advanced auto, it worked perfectly! anyhow the relay is behind the driver's side headlight underneath the black box Good luck!

Where is the inertia switch located on a 1997 escort ?

One of the most common was in trunk, behind side panels, usually drivers side.There may even be a hole to poke finger through to reset. Some fords (trucks usually) have them up on firewall inside vehicle by brake pedal, right about where carpet ends, or behind kick panel by passengers right foot.
