Turn Signal/Back Up Lamp - Fuse Blows In Cold Weather

Bulletin 84-8-14

Date June '84

Ref. No.. 84-255-8
SUBJECT: BLOWN TURN/BACK UP FUSE IN COLD WEATHER

MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 CENTURY CUSTOM & ESTATE WAGON


We have heard of some instances where the 15 amp fuses may fail in cold weather on some early production wagons. This condition may be due to a high current draw from the tailgate release solenoid in cold weather.

This condition can be repaired by replacing the 15 amp fuse in the Turn/Back Up circuit with a 20 amp fuse.
