Campaign - A/C Cutout Relay Replacement: Overview

Model Year 1984

Bulletin No. 84-C-6

File In Group 8

Number 15

Date August '84
SUBJECT: A/C CUTOUT RELAY REPLACEMENT

MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 ELECTRAS, LESABRES, AND RIVIERAS EQUIPPED WITH 5.0L (VIN CODE Y) ENGINE AND AIR CONDITIONER


CONDITION

It has been determined that some 1984 Electras, LeSabres and Rivieras equipped with a 5.0L (VIN Code Y) V-8 gasoline engine and air conditioning may experience an intermittent "Check Engine Light" with no codes stored, which could eventually lead to a loss of air conditioning operation. This condition is due to incorrect electrical suppression in the air conditioning cutout relay.

DEALER ACTION

To correct this condition on vehicles involved, dealers are to replace the air conditioning cutout relay. Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.

Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
