you might need a upgraded flasher module from Ford for this.

Its a wiring problem. The flash module just controls the rate at which the lights blink.

wow thats alot of colors mentioned there...take it all apart and redo it. Did you use electrical tape or a butt connector for the connections? Did you twist the wires together or solder them? Must be a small detail your over looking.

I think you need to change out the 3rd bulbs to dual filament ones to make it work

do they have the sequential lights for 99-04 and 05-07? maybe you got the wrong year...i dont know if they split the years like that but could that be an issue?

Cool

I quest i will have to call them but i have a gut feeling they are not going have a answer for me. There as got to be someone on this site that as these lights to let me know how they wired them. they look kinda cool even with the 1.2 blink but when you look at the demo a see them blinking 1.2.3 you feel you done something wrong and i keep going over the wiring over and over

I have them and you probably wired it wrong or something is wrong with the kit you have. All AM could do is give you a refund or send you a new kit but if you wired it wrong then no one could help you with that. This is something that one would have to be there to double check all connections. Ive dont two kits with no issues.

Take the #3 bulb out and put #1 or 2 in its spot. See what happens.

Just put one of the bulbs that are working in the spot of #3 and test it if #3 lights up get a new bulb if #3 doesn't light up then call AM get an RMA number (or whatever its called) take it to UPS and you will have a new kit in a couple days. Thats what 03gtmustang told you to do but your response doesn't seem like you did that because it shouldn't change how the lights are displayed.. that third light will either light up or it won't. If it does light up then get rid of that other bulb and get a new one

Default they all work

all of the bulbs work it's just that two of them work at the same time. It's like the two bulbs blink at the same time then the one bulb will blink. not like one bulb then one bulb then one bulb not like the demo. Mine is two bulbs than one.

I know you have exhausted yourself here man, I can totally understand your frustration. What I would do is if you feel you have a good system have someone else totally wire them up. You might just be missing one step here and overlooking it since you have done them 10x now or more.

And if they still dont work, just have them replaced from MM. Could be you just got a bad set?

well, they are either miswired or defective...

I'd say either find a friend to be a "second set of eyes" to confirm the wiring is correct or contact the vendor or manufacturer about getting a replacement part...not much more can be done over the internet
