my Ford Mustang S650 (2024-Present) warning lights keep flashing, what does it mean?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the parking brake engaged.

2. Battery Inspection

• Tools Required: Multimeter, socket set
• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.
  2. Use the multimeter to measure the battery voltage; it should read around 12.6 volts or more when fully charged.
  3. Clean any corrosion on the battery terminals with a wire brush.
  4. Reconnect the battery terminal securely.

3. Fuse Inspection

• Tools Required: Fuse puller or pliers
• Sub-steps:
  1. Open the fuse box located under the dashboard or hood.
  2. Visually inspect each fuse for signs of damage or burning.
  3. Replace any blown fuses with the correct amperage replacements.
  4. Close the fuse box securely.

4. Alternator Test

• Tools Required: Multimeter
• Sub-steps:
  1. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
  2. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals; it should read between 13.7 to 14.7 volts when the engine is running.
  3. If the voltage is below this range, consider testing or replacing the alternator.

5. Wiring Inspection

• Tools Required: Visual inspection tools, possibly a multimeter
• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the wiring harness for any visible damage, fraying, or exposed wires.
  2. Check all connectors for secure connections and signs of corrosion.
  3. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
