I'm telling you....You seem to understand electrical better than me (so does any first grader), imagine my point of view here.LOL.

i understand most of it, but it gives me headaches.. consider yourself lucky that you haven't had to mess with it until this problem arose lol

Oh, I did. Last year around this time, I was installing the sun visors, and a screw went through a wire above the headliner (I didn't know that at the time), and it melted a hole about the size of a golf ball through the fuse panel. I had to replace the panel, and two small harnesses to and above the headliner.

..meaning, do I twist the black wires together and hook them to the black wire in the harness, then the white wire from the socket to the brown wire?

NOOOOOOO.. twisting the 2 black socket wires together will turn both filaments on at all times, when the parking lights are on.. you just need to determine which wire is your parking light and which is the turn signal/brake light wire.. i imagine the white is the wire you have grounded?

O.K., I double checked....as it is Now, before I put it back to stock... The white wire from the socket goes to the black wire in the harness. One black wires from the socket goes to the brown wire in the harness, and one black wire goes to the sequential. SO, I think I just need to remove the green wire from the equation (unplug the black from it), and call it a day. NOW, I think That's what Tom and Chicken both meant.

Sound good?

If memory serves the white wire on that universal inner socket is the ground. the two black ones coming from the bottom of the socket are the stop/turn and park wires. one of them should be connected to a brown wire in the car's harness (the car's factory "park" wire). The other one should be connected to the green wire that was connected to the sequencer. Simply disconnect that green wire.

As for the other two sockets, cut the sequencer's white and black wires from the sockets, and cut the sequencer's red wire from the car's harness. Now connect the car's harness wire to the socket wires you just cut the sequencer's wires from, and you should be back to stock wiring

Chicken, I have the outer sockets on both sides installed back to their original location in the harness. Going to clip the green wires and do a test.

STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lights are all working, back to stock. Finally.

THANKS to you all who have helped with the tech info, and holding my hand for 3 weeks.

NOW...Once I get the new sequential kit, I'm going back to that, and never pulling my dash again....ever....unless I have to.

could be the sequential module.. but that'd be the least of my worries if the car just randomly died, lost all power and poof, started right back up lol i would check the wires from the module to see what kind of voltage you're getting, you could just have super py bulb sockets.. i've replaced those stupid things more times than i've done tune-ups

 

post #5.. i was right from the start.. GO ME! :D where's my prize LOL just kidding.. glad she's fixed!
