Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light flashes on your 2014 Ford Mustang, it often indicates a severe misfire or an issue that could damage the catalytic converter if you keep driving.

Addressing a flashing light promptly can prevent downstream damage that becomes costly; we’ll explain likely repair costs, parts required, and whether warranty coverage applies. We offer clear estimates, OEM parts, and service financing so you can begin repairs immediately and spread payments if necessary.
