I just installed sequential turn signals on my '06 GT 'vert. Tailights work fine, but now my passenger side backup light doesn't work. Bulb is good. There doesn't seem to be any voltage to that light-drivers side works OK. Could I have upset the computer or something? My next step will be to dis-connect the battery and reset everything. Nothing I did should have affected the backup lights. Any ideas anybody?

I would also unplug the harness and inspect the pins in the connector on that side. Maybe one of the pins is bent/broken/missing?

does this sequential set-up replace a harness? or do you splice into the factory harness? you may just have a loose connection somewhere. maybe even in the connectors themselves. dont overlook any of the easy/obvious things to check for.

E Problem

I did splice into the factory harness, but not into anything that should have anything to do with the Backup lights. I did check the pins in the connector- everything there looks good.

Electrical Problem SOLVED

HOO RAY! I now have a complete car again. It seems that when installing the one new wire, I damaged the ground wire to the right backup light. Gary at Meter4It is a real great guy. He worked with me until we solved the problem. I can't believe how great the tailights look. The "chase" light sequence looks so much better than the plain sequential kit I had on my former 2000 GT. I highly recommend the Meter4IT kit. The install takes a bit of doing, but it really isn't that tough. The result is well worth it.
