Need more detail to figure out what you are talking about. Failing to start? Does engine turn over but will not run or engine does not turn over? What do you mean by, "now it's the anti-theft"? Thumping noise from rear of what?

check the top runner on the tailgate on the outside to see if damaged. if not that then check the molds around the gate

Start with inspecting the rear tires for out of round or bulges.

Next, inspect the rear shocks for oil leaks,

Both of these can cause the thump you describe.

when you hit a small to large bump you hear a banging rattling thumping noise that is the strut

can you hear the latch release when you try to open? if no clicking noise is heard then most likely a bad latch assembly. also check the rear door control module to see if smells burnt, if it does it won't send open signal. the module is located behind the plastic shroud on the left of the rear hatch.

With ignition switch on and engine off activate a window switch... listen for a clicking noise. if there is no noise then start checking fuses and relays. The fuse panel in on the left of the drivers legs. open it up it is well marked and in it you will find a handy fuse puller and spare fuses if they're needed. If you hear the clicking sound then try the Mini cooper Thump. Apply it to the doors midway between the large and small speakers (It may take two or three solid thumps) re-apply as needed

i recently had 4 tyres fittede and tyre company had crossed threaded one stud so forcing brake disc to be loose, hence when handbrake applied got thump from brake area.

I have the 03 Expy with continuous rear air unit "clicking" or more accurately flapping of the air damper while the plastic gears in the 2L2H-19E616-AA grind away into toothlessness. Ford designed this unit to find the end of travel by jamming the motor to a stop and monitoring the current to determine when to stop applying voltage. That would probably be fine if the gears were designed to handle the jammed torque or the motor did not slip out of groove and continue turning and cracking the plastic gears.

There are two white colored boxes, one is for the temp plenum door, the other the upper/lower air flow. To be sure, do what I did, turn on the ignition, rear ac/heat and listen for the obnoxious click/thump as you move the temp control from full heat to full cool, you will know which part. Disconnect the electrical connector, four bolts and it is out!

Go to your dealer, part should be about $60 or less, look on line, lots of dealers sell for this or less on internet.
