sequential tail light problem anyone?
so i ordered the sequential tail light kit from american muscle... i installed in the first time.. they worked great. after two days though. the right side wouldnt sequential on turn signal.. only one chamber would flash..
they replaced them through the warranty.
same thing happend
they replaced them again and same thing happend.
is this happening to anyone else.. could it be my mustang causing the problem?

Mine have been fine from AM i think I did have to change one bulb one time but I have heard of one wiring harness being bad but happening 3 times seems like either overly bad luck or more likely a problem with your car.

Not to state the obvious, but check your light bulbs (move them around to different positions if need be). My Chasers get all funky when a bulb goes out. If it's the most in-board bulb that's bad, then none of them will sequence on that side.

That has been the one annoyance of my car, the tail light bulbs. I think I've replaced 7 of those things since I've had the car. That's just ridonkulous. Any suggestions for ones that are supposed to last? I was using sylvanias, thought they were supposed to be good.

Look for a broken solder joint. Tug the wires and one might pop out of the heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. The first set i received was soldered poorly. Insulation melted and solder flowed under the insulation, making for a brittle solder joint.
EDIT: BTW, mine are CDC's

+1 for CDC sequentials.
...Sadly, I have the Webelectrics from AM too. Had to replace a bulb the other day for the first time. I hope this is not going to be a continual problem. There have been many that have had issues with the harness' and many who have been problem free. Luck of the draw I suppose.

everytime they flash.
The CDCs have a soft start feature that brings
the bulb filiment up to 12V at a predetermined
ramp up rate undetectable to the naked eye
but easily seen on an O Scope.
I also replaced ALL the taillight bulbs with LongLife Sylvanias FTW.

I put mine in about a month ago and changed all the bulbs to Sylvania Long Lifes and they have been fine. Figured I didn't want to take the car apart more often than I have to. Keepin' my fingers crossed now though.
