SUBJECT: New 45-Way Metri-Pack Bulkhead Connector On Some 1983 LeSabres and Regals Within The Following Vehicle Identification Number Range
LE SABRE VIN'S (Flint Plant)
443563 through 444195

FIGURE 1:
This new bulkhead connector uses all the same circuits and wire colors as all the other "1983" LeSabres and Regals. The only difference is the actual connector itself; therefore, the engine, forward lamp and instrument panel harnesses will not be interchangeable with existing harnesses. (See Figure 1)
FIG. 2:
When diagnosing electrical conditions, use the 1983 Buick Service Manual and Figure 2 showing pin cavity locations in the new connector.
If it becomes necessary to replace either the engine harness, forward lamp harness or instrument panel harness on vehicles equipped with the new bulkhead connector, use the following part numbers. Vehicles not equipped with the new connector will use the part numbers listed in the parts book.

Forward Lamp 12035229
Regals
