I just got home. Gonna change clothes and do the tests Thunder Chicken advised a few posts up. I'll pass along the data I find (or don't find) in a while.

I would hate for the sequencer to be bad, but on the other hand, if it is, at least I'll know the remaining issue and can do what I can to fix it.

i would think the best test to try first is disconnect the sequencer ground and see if they work as normal tail lights, like thunder chicken said they should (no sequencing, but typical tail lights with all 3 lights lit at once

That'll be the first thing I do. Getting ready to go in a minute. Waiting for a response from a fellow member about a kit he has. I need it to replace mine (probably).

O.K., only the green wire flashes when I put the test light to it. When I disconnected the ground, no change. I still have the one light on the passenger side.  So, bad sequencer?

according to thunder chicken, that should have lit all 3 lights.. which side of the sequencer did you test, the IN or OUT?

Ok, the sequencer's SCR's may have popped, though it'd be strange for both to pop (there are two per side). Perhaps the sequencer saw a voltage spike.

Cut the wires going into the sequencer for the passenger side, but leave a few inches in case you have to reconnect it. Now connect the red, green, black and white wires together (do NOT connect the sequencer's ground to this bundle, when I say black wire I mean the one in the yellow harness). This should give you all three lights on the passenger side. If it doesn't the problem is in the bulbs and/or sockets, or the ground to the passenger tail lights (the innermost bulb you added when installing the sequencer will have its own ground).

Tomorrow morning , I'll be all over it. I'll post results right after that. I really hope it's only the sequencer. Another member here has one like mine that I'm going to buy to replace mine. As I stated, that's my favorite part of the car.

Where is the ground to the passenger side tail lights? In the trunk?

I cut the red,white, green, and black wire, connected them together, and now I only have the inner light on both sides. The driver side is now inop as well.  !!! At least I had the driver side until that little fiasco. Now, brakes, signals, only the inner lights on both sides.

that may just be in how you hooked it up.. not sure exactly what you did, as i'm not there to take a gander and don't know what wire is what without looking at the harness.. it may be because you clipped the ground for the outter bulbs.. don't know if your sequential kits required you to do so or if you just clipped it in route of disabling your sequencer

I'm thinking the sequencer is toasted.....crispy toasted inside.
