Sequence flasher problem

[johnboy]

Well… a classic cougar site has to have a flasher problem…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06e1GDtJiCM ( did all I could, and did not succeed in imbedding this clip)

My 68 xr7 has a new flasher switch in the column. A new electronic unit in the trunk.
Mr. Vic Yarberry has been ultra patient with me, so far, and is pointing out areas where I might suffer from a bad ground somewhere. Going under the seat to do some more testing will have to remain on the back burner until I can be mobile enough.

I did the tests on some wires as requested, and as per different color wires, and all show enough voltage. The problem is that the current going in the sequencer is on/off, and it seems some ground issue resets the unit as soon as it gets to the center light. As you can see on the clip, everything else works fine. with lights on, and while braking.

any ideas?

thanks

Jean, That is a tough one! I don’t know that that this has anything to do with your problem, but on one of my cars they had wired in trailer lights and the trailer light harness caused me all kinds of grief. Since the inside lights both work with brakes, that means the bulbs are okay. You might want to check and see if the individual sockets are grounded to the body (where they attach). Goog luck and let us know what ends up being the cause of the problem.
