Sequential Turn Signals - Disabling them
#41
If anything the sequential turns signals would catch people's eyes more than a dim tiny signal light. I feel safer with them as people seem to react alot more as soon as you signal.
I've also noticed peole let you in more now when you are trying to merge...maybe curiousity got the best of them and want to see more of it?

By the way, I was watching the documentary "a faster horse" a documentary about the making of the 2015 mustang and mustangs in general, and they had the lead project guy on a mustang podcast or something and the first thing that came up was the guy said glad to see they kept the sequentials. The project guy said it came of for discussion only because of cost, but they both seem to agree that is one feature they just can't get rid off.

Luck had nothing to do with it.. I always do extensive research about the company I'm considering doing business with before forking over my hard earned money for my Mustang parts..
When it comes to American Muscle, I will only purchase brand name parts from manufacturers who have actual shipping and customer phone support centers based in North America, otherwise if the part I'm interested in is made either in friggin Taiwan or China ? I'll look elsewhere..
My sequential harness I purchased from Classic Design Concepts, is made here in the U.S and also backed by their full lifetime warranty !

Exactly ! Just when you needed him the most.. This is no excuse for them not answering back, as they have other customer service reps who also have your contact info.. Just another fine example of poor customer service as far as I'm concerned and I also wonder why the AM rep in question decided to move on with another company

Well, the person sending out email sales announcement is keeping busy, so there's that. Agree with putting nothing but name brand parts in the car. I'm really interested in that replacement center stack with the backup camera, nav, etc. But I've never heard of "Raxiom" and can't find out anything about them. Passed on it.

As for the person from AM sending sales announcements via e-mail ? It's also referred to as marketing.. So yes, there's that..
And just to set the record straight, I don't have an issue in doing business with American Muscle when it comes to purchasing name brand parts from manufacturers who have actual store fronts based in North America and also provide working phone support numbers for their customers..

Mustangs never had sequential signals from the factory... the first generation Shelby was the only Mustang to ever have them before 2010. They were taken from the mid-60s Thunderbird and Cougar and were mechanically controlled by a motorized rotating switch.

Then there's your phone, television, computer, household appliances, etc. A global market is just part of the reality of business these days.

That's an odd statement considering that a significant portion (~15%) of your Mustang wasn't manufactured in North America. The percentage of domestic content is even lower for 10-14 models... only about 65%.

I will however add by saying that my Mustang GT is a 2006 model in which most of it's parts were still manufactured in the U.S with the exception of the Tremec TR-3650 manual tranny that was manufactured in Mexico..
But if your foreign sourced but Ford installed part fails, you still have Ford to lean on. If you go aftermarket for a foreign sourced part when that source doesn't have a North American presence....well, you're working without a net. And if Raxiom is NOT owned by AM (who knows?) you are just S.O.L. Not prepared to take that chance.

So whoever was the previous owner of your 2006 Mustang added an aftermarket sequential kit similar to what I have.. Therefore what WhiteBird00 posted is actually spot on accurate..

No, no...
I added sequential lights myself last year... (but they are Raxiom junk, & don't work...)
What I'm saying is, that the Mustangs should have had factory sequential lights every year since 1964.
it was stupid that the 2005+ didn't have them.
I'm wondering why Ford removed them at all???

I also totally agree with you that Mustangs should've been available with factory sequential tails every year since 64.. But also remember that Ford didn't offer them as a factory option until 2010.. Just as WhiteBird00 posted, it was only the 1st generation Shelby GT350/GT500 models that had them prior to 2010..
