From the 87 EVTM:
LG/Y (Light Green/Yellow) wire is the "hot at all times" wire from fuse 8.
Courtesy Lamps, Power Door Locks, Illuminated Entry, Power Outside Mirrors, Keyless Entry

It goes to:
Cluster connector C246 terminal 17. Powers electronic speedometer module.
Illuminated entry timer.
Left Hand door switch. Powers the warning chime and courtesy lights.
Right hand door switch. Powers courtesy lights.
Dome light switch in the headlight switch.
Glove box light.
Power mirror control switch.
Console storage box light.
Map lights.
Right and left vanity lights.
Keyless entry module.
Digital clock.
Power door lock relays.

I am sure I have missed something.
Don't know if you disconnect the battery when getting into stuff with wires.
You definitely should.

Thanks guys. I'll check them when I get home today from work.

Tom, when I push the brake lights, the driver side sequences out as it should, and the passenger side only has the inner light. When the signal light and brake are pushed, only the inner light on the passenger side comes on and blinks, the driver side is great, as are the front lights and dash lights.

I'll get the test light out and report what I find when I get home. Stay tuned around 4:00 or so.

No, the instructions are long gone.

Shadow all he needs to do is check the stock wiring in the car that comes from the signal switch. That is the LG/O For the left and the O/LB for the right. This will confirm his stock wiring and the repair he did is OK.

 
i know, but as for testing the sequencer itself, i haven't a clue.. i didn't know the factory signal/brake light wire colors because i don't have a diagram in from of me.. i've been saying sequencer this whole time lol

that's what i was thinking, switch the signal wires from the front of the car at the sequencer, and flip on the left signal to test the right tail lights.. but s simple check with the test light should confirm it.. basically, what i believe happened is whatever sequences the passenger side shorted out, leaving him with just the inner-most bulb. the cluster sheet was just throwing everything else off and making it appear to be somewhere else.

and i believe you're right, they use a special flasher that doesn't flash quickly when a bulb is out, because the sequencer makes the OEM style flasher think there is a bulb blown.. at least that's what i remember from when i looked into doing sequential lights in my old sport

Vinnie: Sorry for not getting back earlier, between work and other stuff I haven't had much in the way of free time.

To adjust the sequencer, turn the little metal screw closest to the wires for the passenger side counter clockwise while the turn signal is on. You might have to turn the screw several full 360-degree turns before you see a difference. If you don't see any difference after 15 full turns, try clockwise a bunch of turns and then counter clockwise again. If this makes no difference, try disconnecting the ground for the sequencer, and then turn on the signal lights. Disconnecting the ground causes the timers inside the sequencer to all go high at the same time, which means all three lights should come on at once. If they do, this means that the timer or adjustment circuit inside the sequencer has shiznit the bed. If they don't, try having somebody hold the brake on while you probe the green, black and white wires coming from the sequencer. The green should definitely have power, as this feeds the innermost light and that one's working. If you have power at either of the other two this means the problem is in your bulbs or sockets. If you don't have any power the SCR's inside the sequencer have packed it in (an SCR is kind of like a solid state relay).
