  • This is how I set up the Sequential Rear Lights on my 1989 Chevy Caprice. Fairly easy setup, you will have to get a new/used light switch for the center lights on both sides. I ordered the modules off of eBay and they worked perfectly fine.
    New Information about the relays.
    I did these lights in July of 2020 and the car has pretty much just sat since then. I took it out for a drive a few weeks ago just to run the motor and transmission and to get the parts moving. That is when I noticed that the brake lights were not working correctly. With this setup/relay, the brake lights will flash one sequence and go off / not stay on. I didn't realize that this setup doesn't work if your turn signal and brake wire are on the same circuit/wire as the two yellow or green wires I used. The two same-colored wires are actually different. One is the Turn Signal and the other is the Brake Lights. If you put a test light on one and turn on the signal only one wire will be hot. Then when you step on the brake the other wire is hot. With this setup being that the power still cycles through the relay, the relay then shuts off the power from consistently being on like brake lights would normally work. I don't think there is a way around it if your lights are wired in that fashion. I tried wiring it with just the flasher wire leaving the brake wire loose and that works but once I connect the brake wire it still cycles through the relay being that they are running in series and the issue persists. I am going to do some research but I doubt I will find anything to solve the issue with the relay. The sequential part works fine it's just the brake lights that are the issue. Well not really the light it is the relay itself. I actually have to find the correct relay for these cars.

    Thank you all for watching and commenting. I will do another once I find the proper relay for it.

      You might want to check if the wires are connected to the yellow and not the brown. These are not the correct flashers because the brake light doesn't work right with these. They will flash and then go off. Ill try to find the correct ones and redo the video.

    I have a 89 box also,I bought the module from Amazon and the two center sockets from Napa, the sockets are not flat like the original ones but they do have black brown and yellow wires.for some reason I'm having a hard time getting the middle light to flash,is it the socket or the module? I followed everything u did on yours and still can't get it to work right,at one point one of my headlights was flashing,lol,can u help?

      You might have two wires crossed. Make sure that there is only one wire from the relay going to each light and that the lights are not connected to each other. These are not the correct flashers because the brake light doesn't work right with these. They will flash and then go off. Ill try to find the correct ones and redo the video.

    I ordered those too. They do not work for these type of lights. They sequence even when you brake.

    • @cboyd430
      @cboyd430 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The right modules cost $70. They sequence 1 time then stay lit when you brake.
