ceiling fan woes

I hooked up a ceiling fan with a remote module to a previous light fixture circuit with 3 wire cable. Blk to Blk, wht to wht.Grounded hanger and bracket to copper wire. Hooked module to motor blk to blk.wht to wht and blue to blue for light. Turned unit on fan worked but light made noise. pfth! Thought bad bulb. Installed new bulb,still no light.Installed second fan different light circuit. Hooked up wiring as before BUT!!! did not attach light kit to motor housing. Fan and light worked fine. Installed fan blades. Attached light kit. Fan ran. Light shorted again and now a clicking was coming from unit even with the fan off. What is going on? I have been installing circuits and done a lot of my own work for years. I got two more fans but am hesitant to install.
