The no config light and clicking noise you are hearing when trying to start your 2013 Ford Mustang are likely caused by a problem with the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM is responsible for controlling the engine and other essential components of the vehicle. If the PCM is not working properly, it can prevent the engine from starting.

Here are some possible causes of the no config light and clicking noise on your 2013 Ford Mustang:

A bad PCM.

A loose or corroded connection to the PCM.

A problem with the battery or alternator.

A problem with the fuel system.

A problem with the ignition system.

If you are having this problem, you should take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic to have the PCM and other related components checked. The mechanic will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting the no config light and clicking noise on your 2013 Ford Mustang:

Check the battery and alternator to make sure they are properly charged.

Check the fuel system for leaks or problems with the fuel pump.

Check the ignition system for problems with the spark plugs or ignition coils.

If you have recently replaced the PCM, make sure that it is properly programmed for your vehicle.

If you have tried all of these things and the problem is still not fixed, you may need to replace the PCM. The PCM is a relatively expensive component, but it is essential for the proper operation of your vehicle. If the PCM is not working properly, it can cause a variety of problems, including the no config light and clicking noise.
