yea it is...couple things actuall fixed themselves today...both the horn and blower motor started working again...neither worked yesterday when i got the car
 
blow it out on the highway, get the cob webs out of it!!!!
 
first thing i fixed was the sequential signals...the inside light would stay on and only the outer 2 would flash...so i replaced the original mechanical sequencer with this electronic one from cougars unlimited...they now flash like they should

no all 3 are supposed to flash...before i replaced the sequencer only the outer two would flash...all 3 flash now
 
same here, the outer ones really do not show up in the vid
 
DJ, I think there is a problem with the turn signal . not very bright on that last bulb
maybe dirty housing or blackend bulb? but I would look into it. I had a old cougar with sequential turns and they were bright equally across
