and how does it tell you to wire it up?

my guess there would be 3 auxilary wires from your sequential flasher, a power wire from it and a ground?

and 1 of each of the auxilary wires would go into the major power wire on each of the 3 sockets for the bulbs

and the sequential relays power and takes it away in the order that makes it flash inside to outter?


ok i read over your main post again and yes the problem is your cobra has a different wiring set up, your cobra has only 1 blinking turn bulb and a gt has all 3 flash. so by using this kit that is used for a gt your adding power to bulbs that are only used for brake lights, and bc of that those bulbs are all wired 2gether from the factory bc any time power would ever be applied to them it would be for all the lights deemed brakes lights or hazzards

your gunna have to change your wiring harness to a 01-04 gt or a 03-04 cobra

The white wire from the seq. kit goes into the major slot on the bulb above the reverse light. I believe thats the only open major slot.

This was a post from another forum from a thread I made:

"Look at diagram 90-1. If the DG wire is removed between splice S323 and the multi-function switch (like you have done), then the entire brake light system quits working. Put that DG wire back.

The re-wire work needs to be done in the *TRUNK* on connectors C460 & C461.

On connector C460 (left) car side, remove the DG wire from the connector
On connector C460 (left) light side, splice together the LG/OG - DG.
On connector C461 (right) car side, remove the DG wire from the connector
On connector C461 (right) light side, splice together the OG/LB - DG.

Splice together means to combine together electrically. How you do it exactly depends on your preference (there are several methods depending upon your skill level and the goals).

If you still do not understand how to do this, then consider replacing the entire harness."
