Need help FAST !!!!! FIXED !!!!

I would eat some, but my diet won't allow it. I'm getting back in shape.

As far as the cause, I think a wire behind the dash was affected, then, it caused a wire under the carpet to fry, which caused the sequencer to  out. Man, what a long ride this has been. I will sleep well tonight. For 3 weeks, I have thought about this problem every single day. I'm sure many here can relate when there's an issue on the car you're trying to work out.

Once again, I will say, THIS is why I love this forum. people have your back and are willing to help the best they can, myself included (just don't ask me for electrical help). LOL.

Well,Now that everything seems to be fine,I can start body work finally.  And, as I said, sequentials will be back on the port in a couple of weeks. It's part of her character.

I have literally been on this thread for over 3 1/2 hours.

Considering I got something accomplished, it's a good thing.

" Good news everyone! "

Glad to hear it's a wrap, Vinnie. Good work on the troubleshooting. I know you were being helped, but there's no substitute for the guy on the multimeter. Now get that sucker in paint!

I'm glad it is fixed, but in a way I'm a little disappointed because I won't have the suspense of opening this thread twice a day! ;)
