All of Ford's belt driven engines are non-interference with the exception of the 3.0L villager which was really a nissan.

hi, i know you say the belts seem good but one way to rule the fan belt or alternater belt out is to pour water onto the belt and if the noise stops then the chances are the belt needs tightening.
If how ever you still have the noise then this would point towards one of the pulleys bearings running dry you can try putting oil into where the bearing is its difficult to get the oil in their as their is very little gap so using a spray oil would be your best option.

If after doing this you still have the noise then your going to have to replace the pulley thats giving you the noise to find out witch pulley it is spray each one in turn with spray lube and see witch one makes the noise less and then this is the one that needs replacing.

Your power steering pump can give you the noise your getting if the fluid is to low so make sure you check all the levels ok.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

You have to use a scanner and pull the code out that is causing the check engine light to come on. whatever code/codes you find are probably related to vsc light.
Good luck and keep me posted
