Default Sequentials problem---FIXED!!!!

Just installed the CDC sequentials. The right side works fine but the left does not. The inner most bulb and middle bulb light in order,but the outermost bulb does not light. The inner bulb is also brighter than the middle and the sequence seems faster than the right side. I tried to switch back out with the stockers and the outer bulb still does not flash. Oh and when I hit the brakes both sides of the sequentials work fine.

Does anyone know what this could be? I just got the car back from the passenger side airbag recall and dont remember if i had the problem then. Im stumped and need help????

Could be a defective bulb.

If you have the stock setup with regards to the taillights then the inner bulb doesn't light up

With stock lights, the inner bulb does not flash for turn signals.

When you switch back, are you also switching bulbs or did you
invest in some new Sylvania LongLife bulbs while you have the
housings out?
Does the problem follow the bulb as it seems to not be following
the taillight harnesses, sequential or not? You have the tools to
do the detective work and figure out whats going on. For us to
figure out, we needs more detailed explainations as to exactly what
you are doing.
Maybe break out the VOM, (not a test light) and trace the problem
down?
Maybe a bad SJB from the dreaded water leak of 05-08 S197s?
I would not suspect the CDC sequentials.

157db will say CDC and endlessly bash the Webelectrics, but many people are running Webelectrics with no problem. Meter4it is another popular make mainly due to their chase feature.
