Default Sequentials - 1 side ALMOST not sequencing - UPDATE #2

Previously, I had posted that my drivers side was sequencing so fast you almost couldn't tell; it almost looked like it was blinking like stock and a hard reset had not worked. Last update I had removed the harness and bulbs and reinstalled in hope that wiping all the contacts would fix it. No go.

I contacted AM and they sent out a replacement set under warranty. Today, when I went to install the new set, I figured I'd try wiping the contacts on the main harness connection to the stock plug one more time. Damned if that didn't work!

As far as the replacement set: I called AM, told them to go ahead and bill me for them and I just installed them in the lime green '06 V6 that I brought home last night for my g/f.

"I figured I'd try wiping the contacts on the main harness connection to the stock plug"

Can you take a pic of the exact location when you install the other set in the lime green V6. Mine are still doing this. And if that worked it would be great !

Sorry, but I finished the install on the V6 yesterday and everything is back together. But it shouldn't be hard to get to the connector that fixed it for me. If you installed yours before, then you'll know what I'm talking about next.

There are 4 plastic clips (2/side) and 6 nuts (3/side) that you need to remove to pull the plastic trim away. Once the trim is pulled (or laid) back, you'll see the main connector (gray on mine) with the wires leading thru the frame thru a large black grommet. Unplug and reconnect that connector 2 or 3 times. If you have contact cleaner, give it a squirt and then unplug and replug a few times. If that doesn't do it, then remove the tail light housing and remove each bulb socket and unplug and replug each. The intent is to clean the contacts by "rubbing" them together (a.k.a. wipe) to make better contact.

Hopefully yours will work after wiping the main connector contacts.

I have posted this in the past and have not gotten any responses about my LED lights. I have the LED ruby red taililights. IM trying to figure out a way to make them sequential. However the regular kits they sell are only for actual bulbs to be used in them. My led lights have plug connectors that plug into the factory bulbs. There are no actuall bulbs that you replace on the LED lights because its all cirucits or a sealed unit. Does anyone know of a company that converts LED tail lights into a sequential setup? I miss the sequential look but love the LED look. They are the same lights that Moss Mustang sells.
