Horn - Blowing Effort Excessive In Cold Temperatures

Bulletin 85-8-5

Date Nov. '84

Ref. No. 85-036-8
SUBJECT: HORN BLOWING EFFORT IN COLD WEATHER

MODELS AFFECTED: 1982 SKYHAWK, SKYLARK, CENTURY, REGAL, LESABRE AND ELECTRA WITH CUSTOM STEERING WHEEL

1985 SKYHAWK, SKYLARK, CENTURY, REGAL AND LESABRE WITH CUSTOM STEERING WHEEL


During cold weather, the effort required to energize the horn may be higher than some owners desire due to the stiffness of the vinyl material horn pad at low temperatures.

The custom (boomerang shape) horn pad has been changed to a softer vinyl early in the 1985 model. The custom pads are also available in 1982 colors. Order 1982 and 1985 part numbers as shown in Group 6.512.

NOTE: Ornamentation on the 1982 replacement pads will be the same as the 1985 custom pads.
