It is likely that you have a mild to severe short circuit between your passenger and driver's side turn signal wires, or a short between your factory turn signal wires and brake light wires. Solution 3 If the above is not the problem, unfortunately, it is common for older vehicles to develop mild to severe short circuits in the factory wiring harness, between two wires.Manually filing the adapter contact edges will fix this problem. The easiest way to diagnose this is to carefully remove the plastic backing of the factory pigtail and visually inspect if the contacts are being bridged (shorted). It is possible (but rare) that one of the adapter contacts is undesirably touching both pigtail contacts, within the driver's side factory "brake/park light" pigtail, effectively shorting both contacts together. These two contacts need to be touching the contacts inside the factory pigtail. Solution 2 The sequential tail light adapter has 2 electrical contacts on the bottom.If the tail light LEDs are not the problem, please proceed to the next solution. Use the steps on the right of this page (Below for Mobile Users) to assist in this trouble shooting. On the circuit board, you will find 4 green LEDs that will help you troubleshoot the problem. The easiest method to test this is to carefully open the plastic enclosure on the sequential harness, to expose the circuit board. The manufacturer was simply not intending them to be used in combination with a smart sequential module. Please note that this does not mean they are poorer quality LEDs. Some LEDs are designed a bit cheaper and will back-feed voltage into the running light circuit, while the brake or turn signals are illuminated. Solution 1 If you have installed tail light LEDs that are not BraveTECH brand LEDs, it is possible that they are not compatible with the sequential tail light kit.The rear sequential turn signals function, but while the parking lights are " off", and you attempt a driver's side turn signal, the driver's side sequences properly, but the park lights on the passenger side also turn on while the driver's side turn signals are illuminated. Once you have used the onboard LEDs to determine which wires are shorted, you will need to trace your factory wires back, to find the source of the short. Please see the LED troubleshooting steps on the right side of this page (Below for Mobile Users). On the circuit board, you will find 4 green LEDs that will help you troubleshoot which factory wires are shorted together. ***You may carefully open the plastic enclosure on the sequential tail light harness, to expose the circuit board. Please note that these shorts are not always noticed, prior to installing the sequential tail light system. If the above is not the problem, unfortunately, it is common for older vehicles to develop mild to severe short circuits in the factory wiring harness, between two wires.For example, the brake/running light adapter must be installed in the factory brake light pigtail. Ensure the adapters are installed in the correct factory pigtails. You may have the sequential tail light harness adapters installed in the incorrect factory pigtails.The rear sequential turn signals function, but when you attempt a driver's side turn signal, both sides of the tail light flash ( and vise versa).
