Vinnie the only thing common to the dims and the signals is the lamps.(two filaments). They are crossing. Once again pull the flasher. and see if the flashing stops on the dash. Remember the dash is part of the DIMS. They are tied together. I am going to hit all data now and do some looking at the left signal and dim circuits Hang tight.

Tom, I'll check that after work. When I said dimmer, i meant the roller switch next to the headlight switch, not the dim switch on the signal switch. I will check those fuses after work today.

Alright, I pulled fuse 15, no change.

I pulled fuse 5...no signals at all.

I pulled fuse 1, no change.

I pulled the signal relay..no signals.

I didn't pull the emergency flasher yet. It's on top of the fuse panel so I'll have to do that after work tomorrow at 3 o'clock. It clicks as it should when the emergency flashers are on, and they work fine.....except for the outer two passenger rear lights.

Removing the fuses didn't change anything. When I removed the signal light relay, I had no signals at all, so, I couldn't tell if that would help.

I'll double check that today when I get home, Tom. I'll also try to check the rest of the list you just passed along. Stay tuned. leaving for work now.

Tom, are you talking about the emergency flasher, or signal relay?

The flasher seems to be good for the emergency flasher lights. I was going to remove the sequentials, but decided to wait. I had to replace the inner sockets and bulbs so the sequentials can work as they should when I installed the kit. Now, I'm unsure how the lights will work without the factory sockets. i have a replacement tail light harness coming to me, we'll see what happens when it gets here. I'm betting it's behind the dash somewhere, but still no idea where. 2 weeks into this issue and no farther along than when I started. I am wondering if I'm going to have to replace the whole friggin harness. I think the Sport will find it's way to the crusher first (after I strip it of course).

If you remove the sequencer, simply connect the turn signal wire for the center and outer bulbs together and connect them to the car's turn signal wire. The innermost (closest to the license plate) only gets connected to the park light circuit to return to stock. The sequencer is not causing your dash lights to flash. If it has failed (or even if it only needs adjustment) it might be causing the center and outer lights not to come on, but it is not causing the dash light issue.

I'm just trying to trouble shoot this ordeal. I'm unsure what to do with the electrical system. I've called everyone around here, and no shop will do that kind of electrical work. Only bulbs and sockets. Didn't the original inner lights have two wires? The ones I added have three. i can't remember. My mind is thinking about a mile of wires and a hundred different connections, and no sign of the issue anywhere I look (from what I cna see,anyway)./

i actually still believe it's somewhere under the dash, but holy . It looks like on my weekend off (in a week), I'll be pulling the dash completely out of the car and see what I can see. Maybe that will help.
